Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues

ANALYSIS:  No, Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is not an exciting roster addition. But if you objectively explore his numbers without creating a mental barrier regarding his age, then the back who has averaged 14.4 touches per-game since Week 4 is worthy of a roster spot. Gore has also been allotted double-digit carries in seven straight games while rushing for 65 YPG during Miami's last six contests, and his 4.5 YPC average is the highest average since 2012.  

Kenyan Drake has averaged 10 touches-per-game since Week 7 and has received fewer opportunities than Gore in three of the Dolphins' last four games. Even if you are convinced that the 24-year old Drake should be capturing the majority of opportunities, Adam Gase disagrees with you. Gore will continue to pilfer a respectable workload while generating enough yardage to function as a flex.
