Week 17

I would play the starters for a bit - a drive or two. Getting a win is completely off my radar next week. Play enough to keep routine, then get them off the field and let 'em rest and watch the game. They've earned it.

Why even risk the possibility of injury? The game is literally meaningless. It's the 17 week of the regular season. And with the bye, the week after isn't going to be routine whether or not the starters play.

The objective each season is to win the Super Bowl. Nothing about next week's game is going to advance the Saints towards that objective.

Rest as many as you can.
