Danny Amendola is active for the Rams, which comes as a bit of a surprise after being listed as doubtful with a foot injury. Amendola worked out pre-game and will play after missing practice all week. Needless to say, he's a risky fantasy start.

PROBABLE
WR Riley Cooper (knee), DT Cullen Jenkins (foot/ankle), G Danny Watkins (ankle)
Bryce Brown will fill in for the injured McCoy, and is worth picking up as a RB2 or flex option this week. Meanwhile, rookie Nick Foles will once again start in place of Vick but should be avoided.

Steve Smith WR
Danny Amendola and Steven Jackson are active for the Rams, but we don't love Jackson as a start against a tough Cardinals defense. Brandon Gibson will start with Steve Smith inactive. Brian Quick and Chris Givens will get more work at WR with Smith out.

Despite the injuries of WR Steve Smith (foot) and RB Jonathan Stewart (ankle), Panthers head coach Ron Rivera doesn’t believe any of his key starters will miss Week 1 notes the Charlotte Observer.
“There are injuries to heal, though nothing serious enough that Rivera is suggesting a key player could miss the opening game.”
Smith is expected to return to practice on Sunday so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback, you can safely start him Week 1.
Panthers say Steve Smith does not have staph infection
Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 12:05pm
Coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday receiver Steve Smith remains unable to put weight on the foot. The good news, per Rivera, is that the infection has “gotten much better.”
The lingering nature of the condition has created speculation that Smith may have had a staph infection. During the weekly Wednesday morning PFT visit with The Mac Attack on WFNZ in Charlotte, co-host Chris McClain said that he received an email from a Panthers source indicating that Smith did not have a staph infection.
While it's good news that Smith is getting better, it's still alarming that he's unable to put weight on the foot. His mobility should come back quickly once the infection is gone.

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart and wide receiver Steve Smith are both day-to-day, GM Marty Hurney said.
Stewart sprained his ankle late in the second quarter against the New York Jets on Sunday night. He was carted off the field after hobbling to the sideline, and x-rays after the game were negative. Head coach Ron Rivera said after the game Stewart will not play Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Smith did not make the trip north with the team, instead staying home to nurse a foot infection that has sidelined him for a week. He will likely not participate Thursday, as well.

Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith, who at some point during the weekend suffered a foot infection, will not play Sunday. HC Ron Rivera said if this were the regular season, Smith would officially be ruled as "out."
Smith was still on crutches Friday after first being seen on them Wednesday after a doctor's visit. He's been on antibiotics and the team is monitoring the swelling.

Rams WR Steve Smith had had long looks with the first team offense and though Brandon Gibson returned to work on Monday, he still got some reps with the first and second unit. Through two preseason games, Smith has seemed to find a bit of a groove with quarterback Sam Bradford as the pair has connected for three catches for 24 yards.
There will be value to be found in the Rams passing game, it's just a matter of targeting the right guys. We believe Danny Amendola has a good chance to lead the team in receptions, but the starting spots on the outside are wide open. Steve Smith and Brian Quick would appear to be the favorites, but there are other guys in the mix.
