About all you can do is try and be as smart as possible about how many reps vs. risk you want to take. I'd have the starting Oline get a couple or three series under their belt. I'd have to rookie and younger defense out there, a lot.
I'd have Joe Burrow and most of the vet starters out there just a smidge.
It is a fine line. But for new players to not have any snaps in the Preseason I think is a mistake as we saw last year early.
