Frank Gore (RB, NYJ) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I already told you about Frank Gore's availability and upside a week ago when La'Mical Perine fell down to injury in W11 and hit the Injured Reserve, making him ineligible until W15 at least. With Perine out, Gore came back to his heavy usage last weekend, and he doubled up on it yesterday for a Jets team that is still looking for that first W...

Gore carried the ball for the second-most times (18) this season against Miami, reaching 74 yards on the ground after posting up 61 and a touchdown in W11 versus the Chargers. That makes it back-to-back games for Gore rushing the ball 15+ times and reaching 61+ yards on the ground. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that he has also caught all targets he's seen since Week 6 (11-for-11), although his upside there isn't great with just 59 receiving yards in those 11 touches and no TDs to go with them.

Although infinite, Gore's not a league-winning player anymore. You know what you'll have in him, and that is a high-floor, low-ceiling asset only rosterable/playable in deeper formats. Gore will give you his weekly 7-to-11 PPR points, and that is if he catches a couple of passes here and there. Not the worst of plays, but definitely not a very exciting one.

Again, don't add gore if you're not needy or desperate for a surefire 8 PPR points weekly, but forget about booming performances. The Jets have two great matchups against the 28th- and 21st-best defenses against fantasy RBs next, though, so Gore should keep up his scoring numbers at least for a couple of weeks.
