Derrick Gore News
Washington Commanders running back Derrick Gore was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He had been on the practice squad, but Washington had a clear need at running back after ruling out Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) and demoting Jonathan Williams (concussion). With that said, Gore will operate as the Commanders' No. 3 running back and lacks fantasy appeal at the moment.
The New Orleans Saints cut running backs Jordan Howard and Derrick Gore from their roster on Tuesday. The team has been without veteran Mark Ingram II for the past two games, so these transactions could indicate he is close to returning. Ingram was expected to miss three to four weeks from the injury he suffered on October 30th, meaning he's nearing the earlier part of that timeline. Neither Howard nor Gore has made an impact this season. Howard has only one carry for one yard, while Gore has yet to touch the ball in 2022. Fantasy managers could look to stash Ingram II in case anything happens to Alvin Kamara down the stretch.
The Chiefs waived running back Derrick Gore (thumb) with an injury settlement on Thursday. The 27-year-old fractured his thumb during a preseason matchup versus Washington and was subsequently placed on the injured reserve list. Assuming he clears waivers and enters free agency, there's a chance he could rejoin the roster once healthy. Gore, who had 256 yards and two touchdowns off 51 carries (11 games) last season as a rookie, should draw interest from at least a few clubs. Yet, his fantasy appeal in any format outside of dynasty leagues is currently non-existent. However, he may pop up this year as a streaming option if he's fortunate enough to find work.
