Weekly start limit per team
With the vast unpredictability and imbalance in the NBA season schedule, the number of players a certain fantasy team has playing throughout the week can have a very significant impact on the outcome of that week. I think a weekly start limit option needs to be seriously considered. Similar to the weekly start limit for starting pitchers in fantasy baseball. If you set the limit at, let's say, 40 or 42 starts per week, this guarantees that each team will have the same number of players playing for the week, and benching one of their worst players once or twice in a week shouldn't bother anyone. It is an easy fix for an important problem. And adding it as just an option for commissioners to enable or not, doesn't force it on leagues unwilling to add this feature.

Stupidity. What will you want to do about the team owners who complain about having a bad draft and want owners with good players to have a maximum for the studs like James Harden? Just like Yahoo and it's idiotic limited weekly player adds, you want to eliminate another strategy. There IS a lot of luck in fantasy, so why to you want to eliminate what little elements based on skill there is?

This has been the only problem I've had in my league. All the managers want a limit per week to create a fair match up. I don't see why this has not been implemented yet. This would solve the only debate we have in my league. Please Yahoo get rollin' on this!

At first I was against this idea till I found out how it exactly works and how ESPN does it. This is a great idea!! No more shorting the roster due to try and make sure teams have the even amount of games. No more excuses about losing due to your opponent having 5 more games than you which automatically puts you at a disadvantage.
This should be done next season!

Great idea. Fantasy basketball matchups shouldn't just be about who plays more games in a given week. Love this idea. An alternative, rather than gp, would also be mins per position. That alleviates the problem of mid-game injuries too.

Seriously, @yahoo fantasy can get a little lopsided at times and this would fix it entirely

This would fix fantasy basketball, which is borderline broken at the moment with schedule disparities and random benchings. Fantasy playoffs come down to luck, if we can set our own thresholds we can fix it ourselves. This is an easy solution to several pervasive issues.
