Why would they need plausible deniability? There's no cap issue, and nothing is technically wrong with sitting a player.
I don't know of any teams sitting players in order to lose games. I do know that Pittsburgh deliberately traded golaies and ended up playing 3rd or 4th stringers on their way to drafting Mario.
