The Facts:
As Gore begins his eighth NFL season and has 1,653 regular-season rush attempts, the 49ers finally have some quality depth behind him. It seems likely that Gore's play time will decrease this season with more players capable of filling in.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So wrote CSNBayArea.com's Matt Maiocco, who noted that Gore carried more than 20 times in five games last season. Three of those games came within the final seven weeks of the season. Only once in those seven games, however, did he average more than 3.7 yards an attempt. Yet, in the playoffs, Gore rushed for 163 yards on 29 attempts for a 5.6-yard average. Given that, keeping Gore fresh would be wise -- and there's no shortage of depth on the current roster with newcomers Brandon Jacobs and rookie LaMichael James joining holdovers Kendall Hunter and Anthony Dixon behind Gore.
