I would rather play Dell for 1 game than risk Roy getting injured.
I think it's a little extreme to assume it's an injury risk to play 3 games in 3 nights.

If Roy plays well today, he'll get the start again tomorrow, I can almost guarantee it.

It's better to test the mettle of a prospect than to waste games on a PTO. It's a developmental league, sometimes playing lots is part of that development.
