Summary

Running Back Rank: #65All Players: #242

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.

Jun 03 12:03 am

The Carolina Panthers signed RB Mike Tolbert to improve their special teams, diversify the offense and provide insurance in the event they are unable to re-sign RB Jonathan Stewart, who is eligible for free agency after the season. 'Look at how San Diego used him,' head coach Ron Rivera said. 'They used him as a fullback. They used him as a back in certain situations, especially short-yardage stuff. They split him out. There's so many different ways you can use this guy.'

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera indicated the team will use FB Mike Tolbert as the short yardage running back, the lead blocker for the other running backs and a receiver that lines up on the outside at times.
Fantasy Impact: None of this is big news as it was expected. He'll get his touches but not nearly as many as the previous few seasons.

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.
