Hey all...

What do you think about the long term future of Frank Gore? His health has been spotty this year, and I have an offer on the table from a manager that really seems to want him.

Does he bounce back next year to last year, or is the wear and tear of contact going to be the end of him?

Further...how would you rank these RB's in a PPR keeper league:

Stephen Jackson (Already on my team)
Frank Gore (already on my team)
Jesse Chatman
Maurice Jones Drew
Marshayn Lynch

first what would u get in return for gore?

i think MoJo has a bright future once Garrard is healthy. I think Lynch will be a powerhouse back id predict he'll be just like Ronnie Brown was this year before his injury.


Chatman i dont see as a good fantasy keeper.

I think Gore will still be a decent back for a while. The injuries are a little bit of a concern, but he should be fairly consistent starter in any fantasy league. What kind of deal do you have on the table for him though?

As far as the my ranks for keeper league RBs you listed I would go:
Steven Jackson (should be ok the 2nd half of the season and will benefit from the team being healthy next year.)
Marshawn Lynch (performed well as a rookie against some really good run defense teams, should have a bright future.)
Maurice Jones Drew (tough runner, very fast for a guy his size and hard to stop him once he gets going.)
Frank Gore (decent rb but I think the other 3 guys are better options going forward)
Jesse Chatman (i really can't judge him since I haven't seen him play, but I know he's put up some decent yardage when he's got the chance to play.)

The trade offer on the table right now is:

I give:

Frank Gore
Vernon Davis (Who I won't start or keep, as I have Winslow)

I get:

Maurice Jones Drew
Jerricho Cotchery

Anyway you can get Lynch instead of Jones Drew?

No...I tried. Lynch is owned by a huge Bills fan.

Basically it comes down to, who do I want more? To keep Gore and take a chance on his injuries, or go with Jones Drew?
