.....do you rest your starters and risk losing momentum?

.....or do you play your starters and risk injuring key players?

I go preseason style. Play the starters, but limit their time.

It should be a mandatory rule that eveyr NFL player plays fantasy football and owns themself in their league... no one would ever take a play or a game off. I have Manning and Saints def!! Keep the starters in!

I would definitely change up my injury ratings. Probables would become questionable, questionables would become doubtful.

Basically, I would rest anyone who needed it, no playing banged up.

And, I would take this opportunity to see what some of my backups have, why not use this advantage for my team to have a head start with the next draft as well

I think Manning would want to go 16-0

The fact that there are still two undefeated teams in the NFL, has to be driving both of them. A team could go 15-1 and NOT have the best record in football...

Not to mention, screw the 1972 Dolphins! I hope either the Colts or the Saints complete the run.
