This week's edition of Play Action will only include players that are recommended as starters.
You're likely in your League Championship Game this week, and cannot afford to be risking playing anything other than surefire, high quality players.

Now, get out there and bring home the Lombardi Trophy...or at the very least, some exclusive league bragging rights.

Thursday Night Football

Steelers @ Rams
- Dome

START: Ben Roethlisberger, Willie Parker, Hines Ward, Heath Miller, Steeler Defense, Steven Jackson, Torry Holt

The Steelers are looking much more like pretenders than contenders at this point. The should play angry against the Rams. The Lambs aren't good against the run, so expect Fast Willie to pile up another high yardage, TD-free game. They're also not good against the pass, so the law firm of Roethlisberger, Ward and Miller will be open for business. The Rams have been playing well at home lately, but you can count on the Steeler D coming away with a couple of turnovers.

Reportedly, a newly concussed Marc Bulger took an errant pass off of his head in Week 13 warmups. That's just funny. Bulger can't be counted on here. S-Jax also faces a very tough test, but that was also true last week when he shredded the Packers. Jackson and Holt are every-weekers regardless of who they're playing against.
