"Browns to Rest Key Players in Week 18, Jeff Driskel to Start at QB"

The Cleveland Browns are planning to rest their starters in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but due to the 53-player roster limit, some starters will inevitably see playtime. The article outlines a potential starting lineup filled with backups and less experienced players, highlighting positions like QB, RB, WR, and TE where starters are expected to rest, and noting that some starters may still need to play due to the lack of depth at certain positions. The Browns will likely elevate a kicker and possibly an offensive or defensive lineman from the practice squad to provide additional support. The depth chart is speculative and reflects the team's strategy to protect key players while managing the limited roster during the final regular-season game.

"Chiefs to Rest Mahomes and Starters in Week 18 as Playoff Position Secured"

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has decided to rest several key starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for the Week 18 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, as their playoff seeding is already secured. Backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert will start in Mahomes' place. The decision is aimed at preventing injuries in a game that won't affect the Chiefs' playoff position, with the team currently holding the No. 3 seed in the AFC after clinching the AFC West title. Reid's approach to player milestones and incentives remains cautious, with no clear indication if star players close to personal achievements, like Travis Kelce, will play.

"Eagles Strategy and Odds in Week 18 Clash with Underdog Giants: What to Expect"

The article discusses five reasons why the Philadelphia Eagles should consider resting their starters in the Week 18 game against the New York Giants. The reasons include creating their own bye week before the playoffs, resting tired linemen, allowing the coaching staff to regroup and plan for the wild card round, doing something different to break the current slump, and the belief that the Eagles' backups could still potentially beat the struggling Giants. The Eagles are likely to be the No. 5 seed in the playoffs, and resting starters could help them avoid a one-and-done playoff appearance and a disappointing end to the season.
