17 game schedule, 14/32 teams make the playoffs. If you don’t get the 2 1 seeds, you’re just another of 12 or playoff teams that has to win 4 games to win it all. I think this is fantasy relevant in that some teams may glide some later in the year. At least I know I would consider that if I wanted my players healthy for the playoffs. Yeah?

in the thread's title, what's the 'NFL late' season??? some secret decoder ring I'm missing or something, can I phone a friend, buy a vowel? did you mean the playoffs? why not just say the NFL playoffs, then?

i believe that he is talking about the last few weeks of the regular season and whether the setup with an extra game and 2 extra teams making the playoffs and only 1 bye in each conference will possibly lead to more resting of players.

dropping down to one team getting a bye was huge and a game changer....if you can even sniff that somehow, you go balls to the wall to the end.....that keeps a ton of things in play all the way through....there will be plenty of years where the #1 seed is still up for grabs heading into the final week....
That is what I suspect, yes. But lots of teams have not proven themselves that smart. Perfect example was a few weeks ago throwing Steelers throw to Diontae down by 2 scores on the last play of the game and he gets hurt. Teams absolutely should be taking it easy if they are not in contention for the 1 seed but are likely in the playoffs. Will they or will it be more subtle, don't know yet. Probably subtle this year with smarter decisions in future years.
