San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is listed as probable for Thursday night's Thanksgiving game against the Seattle Seahawks. Gore was limited in practice with a knee issue, but got a full session Wednesday and was never expected to miss the game.

Gore hasn’t missed a game since 2010 and things should be no different for the divisional grudge match. He has 684 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Gore was quiet in last Sunday’s Week 12 win over Washington, rushing for just 36 yards on 13 carries.
Fantasy impact: The 49ers' stagnant offense has made Gore's fantasy outlook unclear week-to-week. He typically fares better when the team commits to feeding him early on, but gets lost in the shuffle when it goes to the passing game. Gore will not have an easy matchup against a Seahawks defense that shut down the Arizona Cardinals last week. He's a risky RB2 play coming off the short week.
