There’s a fine line this weekend for sure, and even if the Texans win the Patriots still have a shot at the bye if Denver loses, no matter how much of a long shot that might seem.
I was all for resting Brandon Spikes last week, but sitting him again, or at least limiting his reps, should be on the table again. Hernandez could probably use a light day as well.
Just coming out of this weekend as healthy as possible is paramount, but I wouldn’t discount a Texans or Broncos loss so the Pats shouldn’t just sit everyone.
