no, the risk isn't different, but there's nothing to prove so why risk it?
Most teams that clinch a playoff spot rest their stars the last week (that's the reason most fantasy football leagues moved their championships to week 16).
Does the game count? yeah, but winning doesn't get you anything. You have a playoff spot, the division and homefield, so why risk injury? Why not have your players healthier going into the playoffs?
Has nothing to do with being paranoid, "disrupt their momentum and chemistry" now that sounds paranoid.
