Newsbreakers

July 2, 2008
The Niners are reportedly focusing on improving the full capabilities of their running backs, starting with plans to insure rusher Frank Gore gets 25 touches per game, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:Coach Mike Nolan says the team would like to get Gore 20 carries and at least five receptions per game. Based on those assertions, that would equate to 320 carries and 80 receptions for Gore. The receiving work would be a bit disappointing for fantasy owners, but there is great potential in those catches. New offensive coordinator Mike Martz is well known for the love of the pass and insuring Gore is not lost in the shuffle would be a relief, both for the Niners and fantasy owners.

May 5, 2008
Running back Frank Gore is excited about the changes in store for him in offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s new offense, according to Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Gore looks forward to being a bigger part of the passing game, where he will get an opportunity run routes while lining up in the slot.

Our View:From 1999-2002, Marshall Faulk posted four 80+-reception seasons under Martz, so it’s conceivable that Gore could have the best receiving season of his career in 2008.

May 2, 2008
San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike Martz is hopeful he can build an offense around Frank Gore the way he did Marshall Faulk when he was with the St. Louis Rams, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:We keep hearing that Martz wants to make Gore the centerpiece of his offensive scheme, which could mean great things for Gore’s reception numbers. Of course, it’s difficult not to let a little doubt creep in our minds, after watching the Detroit Lions compile the fewest rushing attempts in the league over the past two seasons.

April 2, 2008
Frank Gore has been in contact with Marshall Faulk during the offseason, talking about the new offense in San Francisco, according to 49ers.com. “Marshall told me not to worry about people talking about how he [Martz] throws the ball – that I’ll be featured and that I’ll love this offense,” said Gore. “He offered to come out and help me if I needed anything, but that the main thing for me is to show coach how much I love the game, and to really learn the offense and every position on the field. He said I should study the fullback’s role, because Martz will use that position in the slot and get the ball to him. So, I just have a lot of studying to do.” Martz has already said that Gore would be the centerpiece of the offensive scheme, making him a hot commodity, especially in PPR leagues. Additionally, Gore is fully recovered from the high ankle sprain that hindered him for much of last season.

December 21, 2007
Frank Gore has once again been limited in practice this week, but he's still expected to play his normal role in Sunday's game with the Buccaneers. He's dealing with a sore ankle. Gore is also coming off his best rushing output of the year, a 138-yard effort against Cincinnati.
