"That’s the mindset now. ... I think if you have guys that are diverse, you can use two," said Turner, referring to speedy early-down back Ryan Mathews and versatile power runner Mike Tolbert. "The emergence of Tolbert gives us a chance to have a one-two punch. Tolbert gives us a nice changeup. Obviously he’s a physical, hard-to-tackle, punishing runner and Ryan has great speed." Those hoping for a breakout season from Mathews are going to be disappointed in fantasy leagues. Tolbert may end up with just as many touches.
