I'd go with Smith and Bennett just because RBs are where all the points lie and Bennett is going to being a solid option for Manning now that Nicks is not playing.
Its a tough one. LeShoure is back this week and it'll be interesting to see how he is used. I'd start SJax if he's playing even with a tough match-up. I'd go with Bennett at your flex spot.
I think you go SJax (as long as the groin injury isnt an issue) and Bennett. Bennett is clearly a target in the end zone and with Nicks out I think his targets can only increase.

S. Jackson @ Chicago
K. Smith @ Tennessee
M. Bennett @ Carolina
P. Garcon vs Cincinnati
Leave your link and I'll help with yours.
I like Smith, he'll catch balls out of the backfield. Someone mentioned LeShoure, he hasn't played an NFL game yet, and he hasnt been able to practice with the team for 2 weeks. I think they'll give him some work but, I think they will work him in gradually, at least give him a few weeks of practice first. Love the match up, the Titans havent looked like anything scary so far. Jackson has a tougher match up. For the Flex I like Bennett, he should be used more with Hixon and Nicks out this week, Eli likes to throw to his TE's, and he's a huge redzone target as well.
I would go Bennett and Smith. Jackson you're unsure of because of the injury and you dont want it to bite you in the ass in case it comes back. But at the same time, Smith would probably be splitting with Bell. But I personally would go with Smith.
S.Jax if he's healthy. Rams know they need him to keep the defense honest for an improving Bradford. Bennett is the other choice b/c he is a nice big target for Eli in the endzone. Nicks being out might get Bennett a few more looks too.
