Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into dynasty fantasy football lately, and one name keeps popping up: Frank Gore Jr. Yeah, that Frank Gore’s son. I had to see what all the fuss was about, so I started digging.
Initial Scouting Report
First thing I did was pull up some of his college stats. He’s been a beast at Southern Miss, racking up serious yardage. I watched some game highlights – seriously, the kid’s got moves. He’s not just running over people; he’s got vision, and he’s making defenders miss. Reminds me a bit of his dad, but maybe with a little more wiggle.
Checking the Dynasty Rankings
Next, I hit up a few of my go-to dynasty ranking sites. I wanted to see where the “experts” had him pegged. Some had him pretty high, others were a little more cautious. It was a mixed bag, which made me even more curious.
- Some said he lacks blazing, breakaway speed.
- Others point to his proven ability to create yard after contact.
My League’s Situation
Then I started thinking about my own dynasty league. We’ve got a rookie draft coming up, and I’ve got a mid-round pick. Could I snag him? Would he even be available? I started looking at the other teams in my league, trying to figure out who might be targeting a running back.
The Deep Dive
I spent a solid evening just going through articles and podcasts about Gore Jr. I wanted to hear every opinion, every pro, every con. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, so I was trying to stay grounded. One thing that kept coming up was his pass-catching ability – or lack thereof, according to some. That’s definitely something to consider in today’s NFL.
Weighing the Risk vs. Reward
The biggest question I kept asking myself was: is he worth the risk? He’s got the pedigree, he’s got the production, but there are also some question marks. His landing spot in the NFL Draft is going to be HUGE. A good team with a solid offensive line could make all the difference.
The Final Verdict (For Now)
After all this research, I’ve decided I’m definitely putting him on my draft board. I’m not going to reach for him in the early rounds, but if he’s still there when I’m on the clock in the mid-rounds, I’m taking a shot. He’s the kind of player that could be a steal, a real difference-maker for my dynasty team. It’s a gamble, for sure, but one I’m willing to take. It just feels right, you know?
The Next step!
Next I plan to follow and keep up with his performance! No matter what I will keep my eye on his game, and see if he can become the next super star!
