Who would you start in WR position this week?

Nate Burleson - Coming off an injury, and can't blame the 0 points last week on him. He is at home, and with the Ravens concentrating on Megatron, he may have a huge game.

Steve Smith - The Jets are great at run defense, which means he should get more targets from Cam Newton. This year however, Smith has been very disappointing as far as consistent respectable production.

Brian Hartline - Average around 6pts per game, but He likely gets the better match-up with Talib on Wallace more often than not and he's been pretty darn productive lately with an 11 point game, and a 18 point game in the last two weeks.

Also have: Kendall Wright and DeAndre Hopkins, but was not considering them.

This is my leagues first playoff game, and based on the Matchup the win/loss of my team rides on this player decision.

Thoughts from people more intelligent in football than me?

Update:

I can see not counting Nate, but Hartline over Smith? Isn't that a gamble? Smith should have a great game against the Jets...

    I'm not sure why everyone is so hot on Burleson. If you only need one, I go Hartline.
