Summary

Running Back Rank: #40
Overall: #125

With Ryan Mathews emerging as a legit NFL starter, Tolbert got a few less chances last season. He did get plenty of touches, though, and set career highs in receptions. Tolbert ran for 490 yards after rushing for more than 700 the previous season. He did have a career-high 53 receptions for 433 yards. He got most of the work on passing downs because of his blocking ability and pass-catching skills. Tolbert also scored 10 touchdowns, giving him 21 touchdowns the last two seasons. He excels as a short-yardage back. Tolbert is a pretty complete back. His new team, the Panthers, should find plenty of ways to use Tolbert this season (i.e. fullback, third-down specialist, etc.). Tolbert has very good size, but has some burst and does well at hitting the hole in a hurry. He isn't going to run away from a ton of defenders, but can do well in spurts. His lack of big-play ability will hurt his chances to be an every-down back but he does well in splitting time at running back.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Tolbert's touchdown potential helps his fantasy value. He won't get a ton of total yards but his ability to catch the ball helps his value in PPR leagues as well. He can get 800 total yards and around double-digit scores. Consider him a No. 3 fantasy back.

Carolina Panthers RB Mike Tolbert left over $1 million on the table on an offer from the San Diego Chargers in order to join QB Cam Newton and the Panthers. 'That's how bad he wanted to play there,' agent Joel Turner said. 'He loves the idea of playing for Ron Rivera and being on the same team with Cam Newton. He just thinks it's a great fit.'

The Carolina Panthers are expected to line RB Mike Tolbert up at fullback and use him in a variety of ways.

Fantasy Impact: He could get a lot of work on passing downs and as the goal-line back. We doubt he produces as much as he did with the Chargers, though.

Free-agent RB Mike Tolbert (Chargers) left his visit with the Kansas City Chiefs without a contract, but the meeting between the two sides went very well and the Chiefs are very much in the mix to sign him.

The Detroit Lions could show interest in free-agent RB Mike Tolbert (Chargers), who would be a strong fit for the Lions. Tolbert is accustomed to being part of a committee approach, is a strong in pass protection and catches the ball well. He is not expected to command a high-dollar contract.
