The Facts:
The 49ers, eschewing the top-secret approach that plenty of teams apply to matters of injury and rehab, have announced that an MRI performed on Gore reveals a "right ankle strain and a right hind foot sprain." The team says that he'll be out approximately three weeks.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gore owners who haven't already done so should get waiver claims in on rookie Glen Coffee, who will take over the starting role. Coffee filled in against the Vikings and rushed 25 times for 54 yards against a defense that led the NFL in rushing defense over the previous three seasons. It's safe to say Coffee will be among this week's more popular pickups.
