re: How much playing time do you expect out of Zeke and Dez?

I would think they limit their snaps. Gameplan very vanilla. No sense in risking an injury to your studs that got you there if you got 1 seed locked up.

Too bad the Saints and Colts rested their starters that year they had their home field wrapped up and still trying to go 16-0.

Tim is such a tool sometimes.

I think they'll still plan to give Zeke a normalish workload. A few things to consider. First, he's something like 250 yards away from the rookie record, so they'll want to at least give him a chance to get that over the next two weeks. Second, they had their seed locked up in 2014 and still played DeMarco Murray the whole game to end the year. So I think you can expect a pretty normal day for him.

The thing to worry about is if he gets banged up at all. Like he gets a bad bruise or tweaks his ankle, something that he'd normally play through, they'll probably pull him.

Ultimately, you can't control that. I think you play him this week.

Oh and fwiw my league plays into week 17. Championship is both weeks 16 and 17.
