Week 15 vs. New York Giants
Mike Tolbert had six carries for 17 yards against the Falcons last week. He added 13 yards on a pair of receptions as well, but he remained a secondary option behind Jonathan Stewart for most of the game, and then secondary to Fozzy Whittaker after Stewart went out.
This week, Tolbert should see an increase in touches against a vulnerable Giants defense with Stewart set to miss the matchup. Expect a timeshare between Tolbert, Whittaker, and rookie Cameron Artis-Payne, limiting the value of any Panthers back, but Tolbert’s increased work and short yardage prowess make him an intriguing low end RB2/3 option if you’re desperate.
