Listening to McVay, sounds like Rams will rest players such as Whitworth, Goff, Gurley etc. against 49ers

Rams coach Sean McVay told the media in Thousand Oaks that he will probably rest his starters for the season finale against the 49ers. Getting guys healthy is more important than a 3 or a 4 seed, McVay said.

Sean McVays says he might rest some starters in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. Weighing cost/benefit of getting guys rest knowing they'll go on road after first round of playoffs.
Rams are 4-3 at home, 7-1 on the road. Not saying they wouldn't rather play at home, but ...
And having some fresh guys, including the ones mentioned.. a LOT to be said for that.
Finally, not playing those guys doesn't mean the Rams are conceding the game. They can't actually sit *that* many guys and still field an O, D, and ST. A lot of regular will play - and I still expect a win.
