The fact is, and this is a fact not a meta-anything, when an injury prone player goes down very early in the season and you planned around that player, gave them reps, etc, your backup will play most of the season and your backup will be less prepared to play than if the starter had never been on the roster. I don't know what teacher my kid will get in school next grade, but I would rather they get a pretty good teacher than a teacher who is amazing the first week, goes on disability for the rest of the school year on October 1, and is replaced with an unprepared substitute.
