The Facts:
Following up on an ongoing story. ... Gore is reportedly 100 percent after sustaining a hairline fracture of his right hip Nov. 29 against the Arizona Cardinals. Gore chose to remain in Miami and continue to work at Bommarito Performance Systems, rather than disrupt his physical conditioning with cross-country flights.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Is there a concern about Gore's absence leaving him behind teammates in terms of learning the playbook? According to CSN's Matt Maiocco, who's been covering the NFL and the 49ers for quite some time, "it's not a big deal at all because of the player we're talking about. Gore might be the most intelligent football player I've been around. ..." In fact, Alex Smith told Maiocco that Gore only has to see a play once to "get it down cold." Former 49ers GM Scot McCloughan once said he would consider hiring Gore as a scout once his playing career was over. ... Bottom line? Gore and Smith got a chance to learn a good chunk of the offense before the lockout. So with a pretty good grasp of the basics of the 49ers' offense, Gore chose to focus his attention on getting in top physical condition for the opening of training camp. It doesn't sound like a huge concern for Fantasy Football owners.
