This thinking is similar to the team that has it's playoff spot locked at the end of the season wondering if they should play the starters and risk injury. (Hopefully we will have that discussion here with 2-3 games left in the season.)

The opposing thought is do you rest the starters and therefore risk the continuity that had brought you all those wins in the first place.

The Rams don't have a great team (YES!) but they are an NFL team with some talented players so the do have the ability to give the Saints fits, especially with their run game. A loss to the Rams would be short of devastating for the Saints and other teams in the NFL would feel a lot more confident when they play against the Saints.

So I think that if the player can play, even if he's a little dinged up, he's going to play and the Saints will hopefully beat the crap out of the Rams.
