Good posting. But I would temper enthusiasm vs. Indy on the road. He's not going to get 20+ carries in a game like that. But he could get like 14 carries for 60 yards and a TD.

I'll take the over.Tolbert is a bruising back and Indy's run D is soft like butter. I like him to touch it 15-20 times for 100+ yards and at least 1 score.

The same can almost be said about Rivers, he is definitely playing top notch!

Coach Norv Turner is "not optimistic" that Ryan Mathews (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
And Mike Tolbert owners rejoice! Turner did say that Mathews could practice late in the week and "possibly play" against the Colts, but that would be a pleasant surprise. Announcer Mike Tirico let slip during Monday's broadcast that Mathews' sprain was of the high-ankle variety, which explains the ongoing problems. Tolbert, averaging 4.5 YPC with eight TDs, is a strong RB2 play in Week 11.

Leading rusher for opponent games @ Indy:
Bradshaw (NYG): 17/89
Charles (KC): 16/87 Jones (KC): 8/16
Foster (HOU): 15/102/TD
Benson (CIN): 14/24
I felt like most opposing teams didn't get to 20 carries for their feature back in games @ Indy, so I looked up the numbers. Agree with the crowd that says Tolbert should likely see somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-18 carries, with a few receptions. I like his chances to hit at least 80 total yards, but Indy has given up only 1 rushing TD at home in the 4 above games to some pretty good runners.
