Frank Gore Week 13 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Nov 30th 2020, 3:17pm EST

He's a workhorse running back. He doesn't offer much upside, but after seeing him total 21 touches in Week 12, he's definitely worth considering in fantasy lineups. Think about someone like David Montgomery. He's not sexy but offers some stability in lineups. Of the production the Raiders have allowed to skill-position players, running backs have accounted for 35.8 percent of it, which is more than all but three other teams (Packers, Lions, Texans). Gore was targeted three times last week, which is great for his fantasy floor, so when you see that running backs have been targeted 21.9 percent of the time against the Raiders, which ranks as the fourth-highest mark in the league (tied with the Jets), it's a good thing. Gore has also averaged a very respectable 4.1 yards per carry over the last two weeks and has received 33 carries in those games. When you factor in weighted opportunity, the Raiders rank as the fourth-best matchup for running backs. Football Outsiders has them as the league's worst run defense in DVOA. If you're searching for a high-end RB3 this week with a sturdy floor, Gore can fill that role.
