Preseason has understandable trends. For example, we all knew when it was 4-games, that Week 3 was the only one where you might see a half of starters. If you bought games to Week 4 expecting to see Peyton Manning... sorry?
Nowadays, one of the trends is working your 1's during joint-practices which eliminates the need for 1's in the game. Use that time for depth and bubble guys.
This is not the same as the NBA, with all their load-management shit, that have healthy starters sit out random games, including marquee match-ups.
