Is playing starters the right decision for NY Jets in Week 18?

It took longer than it had for seven years, but Jets fans are once again looking at the draft prior to the finish of the regular season.

Still, there is one more game left, a game that is meaningless for the Jets but critical for their opponent, the divisional foe Miami Dolphins. Miami needs a win and a Patriots loss to make the postseason, and they will likely be led by Skylar Thompson, their seventh-round rookie third-string QB.

Robert Saleh announced that he will not lie down in this game by resting his starters. He’s going in as much as possible, which means that Mike White will start despite his continued rib soreness.
