San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore took advantage of his touches on Sunday, breaking the century mark against the Buffalo Bills. In Week 5, Gore carried the ball only 14 times for 106 yards and a touchdown. The Niners' all-time leading rusher and premier back is a critical component to this new-look offense.

Fantasy Analysis: Gore’s fantasy value is on a steep ascension at this moment. In four of the 49ers’ first five games, Gore has scored a touchdown. In two of those games, he ran for over 100 yards. He has been putting up double-digit fantasy points for owners, and doing so on a consistent basis. The Niners have been averaging around 30 points per game and against the Bills, they put up 45. This is all of a sudden an offense scoring lots of points, and Gore is an important piece in all of that. He should continue his productivity throughout the course of the season.
