Panthers coach Ron Rivera says he expects 2013 Pro Bowl fullback Mike Tolbert to play in the team's next game Nov. 30 against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Panthers (3-7-1) have a bye this week.

Tolbert has spent the last eight games on the injured reserve/designated to return list with a hairline fracture in his left leg, but is eligible to return against the Vikings.

Rivera says Tolbert's size, along with his ability to run, block and catch passes makes him a valuable weapon in the backfield.

Tolbert has been practicing the last two weeks and says he feels like he's recovered.

Fantasy Impact:

During their fourth quarter comeback attempt, the Panthers used Fozzy Whittaker while DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart were on the sideline. Tolbert will add to the crowded mix at RB, but should steal some in-close TD attempts. However, he's a bit of a stretch as a fantasy option in typical leagues.

Panthers turn to RB Fozzy Whittaker during key parts of fourth quarter

Panther RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart stood on the sideline and watched.

The Carolina Panthers were mounting a fourth-quarter comeback in Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and their running backs that count more than $10 million against the salary cap were nothing more than spectators.

On the field for two straight series -- three if you go back to Carolina’s last series of the third quarter -- was journeyman Fozzy Whittaker.

It seemed odd. Asked about it, Carolina coach Ron Rivera didn’t offer much insight.

"We have a nice trifecta of running backs," he said.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say that perhaps the Panthers saw something in Whittaker’s 46-yard second-half kickoff return that made them believe he could offer a spark. Or perhaps this is a sign Carolina is close to turning the page on "Double Trouble." For neither to be on the field during a crucial part of a game raises questions about whether they in the plans for 2015. Williams is the most likely to be gone. He has one year left on his deal. Because of an option bonus that would have to be exercised between the first and fifth day of next season, odds favor him being cut. From a fantasy perspective, this was already a situation to stay away from outside of Williams and Stewart possibly having some flex value in lineups.
