Tolbert rushed two times for minus-one yard Thursday against New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert has now finished with no more than two carries, two yards and zero touchdowns in each of his past four games. What's more, the bruising back still hasn't sniffed the end zone this season. With the Carolina offense largely in good health, his role is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Tolbert gained no yardage on his lone rush Sunday against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert has gained just 54 yards on his 23 rushing attempts this season and still hasn't scored a touchdown, leaving him out of meaningful fantasy consideration.

Tolbert rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert has gotten significantly less going in his short-yard role this season than in years past, and Sunday proved no different.

Tolbert rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis

Tolbert rushed three times for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert's three carries trailed only starter Jonathan Stewart as the Panthers aimed to re-establish their power running game Sunday. Although Stewart profited with a pair of touchdowns, Tolbert managed just 12 yards. While that marked his second-highest total of this season, Tolbert has still not managed to find the end zone, severely restricting his fantasy value.

Tolbert rushed once for two yards in Monday night's game against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert was given his usual handoff inside the five-yard line, but couldn't find the end zone with his lone touch. The bulldozing fullback doesn't offer much fantasy upside outside of his goal line threat, which owners should be well aware of by now.

Tolbert (hamstring) is active for Monday's contest versus the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Outside of Week 2, when he received nine carries in a pinch after Jonathan Stewart was knocked from the contest, Tolbert has compiled five rushes for 11 yards and four receptions (on five targets) for 13 yards. With such minimal contributions, Tolbert can't be relied upon for much more than the occasional short-yardage touch. In reality, he's a key to the Panthers' offense as a lead blocker and pass protector for whoever is under center.

Tolbert (hamstring) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert appears to be in line to play Monday despite being listed as questionable, having participated in practice Saturday. Backup tight ends Ed Dickson and Scott Simonson may have to serve as the fullback in certain formations if Tolbert is downgraded to out, although that seems unlikely at this point.

Tolbert (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fullback continues to nurse a hamstring aliment this week and while limited participation in practice shows he's getting close to a return, his status for Monday night could still be in question. Look for more updates on his injury to come this weekend. If he isn't able to play, the Panthers will likely have to stick either Ed Dickson or Scott Simonson in the fullback slot.

Tolbert rushed twice for five yards and caught two passes (on three targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Tolbert got his touches within his usual, situational role Sunday. As an occasional carrier, but full-time fullback, Tolbert stays involved in the Panthers' offense, but his fantasy upside is limited if he doesn't find the end zone.
