The Facts:
Bennett did not practice Tuesday for the St. Louis Rams but the wide receiver said he expects to play in Sunday's season opener against the visiting Carolina Panthers. Bennett, a free agent signee, has a strained quad muscle. "I'm doing fine and I expect to play," Bennett said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The muscle "got tight" during Saturday's practice and Bennett has been getting treatment since then. The Rams have high expectations for Bennett, who led the Tennessee Titans in receptions the last two seasons. He signed a six-year contract to become the team's third receiver behind Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. He replaced Kevin Curtis, who left to sign with the Eagles.
