The Facts:
Gore is putting on a show at the San Francisco 49ers' first workouts of the summer, repeatedly showing off an incredible athleticism tempered only by his injury history. His straight-ahead, low-to-the-ground running style thrills fans and excites the San Francisco coaches who hope they'll finally have a running game this season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gore is in a heated competition with Kevan Barlow for the 49ers' starting job, and Mike Nolan doesn't have a favorite just yet. Barlow, a six-year veteran who has spent his entire career in San Francisco, isn't giving up his first-string spot without a fight, but at this point we're still looking for Gore to win out when all is said and done. That said, we expect the Niners to use both this fall.
