Now I think it's a little different in football where the risk for injury is higher.

I think it's largely because you don't want your starters to get out of game shape for when they do run into a team that keeps it close.

With the style of game Matthew runs, this is pretty much the correct answer. If they run every game and every play then when it matters they will not be bent over gasping for breath late in the first half or in the second half. Also, with this style of play it is run at times like the shift of a hockey team where they substitute all 5 players on the floor for a fresh set of 5 on a rotation.
