With the stakes growing, here are some players to consider starting and sitting in your playoff matches.

START

Marques Colston (WR, Saints) - The best strategy for the Saints this week against the Bucs will be to attack them through the air.

Reggie Bush (RB, Dolphins) - The Jaguars should be a perfect cure for Bush's recent struggles.

Carson Palmer (QB, Raiders) - The king of garbage time is a great play this week against the Chiefs.

SIT

Matthew Stafford (QB, Lions) - The Lions could probably beat the Cardinals without throwing a single pass, which doesn't bode well.

Hakeem Nicks (WR, Giants) - He matches up poorly against the Falcons and aggravated his injury last week.

Montell Owens (RB, Jaguars) - The Dolphins run defense should help remind us all that Owens might only be on the Jags' roster because of injuries.
