Do we play the starters next week?

I think we have to put the starters out there to begin the game at least. We want the best possible seed we can get. If KC or Ten lose we could be the 2 seed. If both lose, we could be the 1 seed. We will know going into Sunday how KC does. If nothing else, it can be treated like a preseason game. If things aren't going well the starters can be pulled quickly. Burrow is just as likely to get hurt against Cleveland as he is against our playoff opponent. I feel he is going to want to play and I say let him play if he wants to.

I was reading on twitter this morning that Mayfield may not play Sunday. If some of the Browns starters decide to shut it down, that would be perfect. Let the starters have the first quarter or first half at most just to keep things in sync and then turn it over to the back ups.
