Scoring - Max games per week in H2H leagues
Limit the number of games played per week by a team in H2H leagues.

Steve Huslig commented
I would not expect this to be changed.
The main reason is because there are days during the week when there are near full schedules, meaning all 13 of your players have games but you can only start 10. Your opponent, on the other hand, has only 9 players with games.
This does not give you a 4 game advantage for this specific date. It give you a 1 player advantage.
Another reason is players being sat in either the 1st or 2nd game of back-to-back sets, especially the older players and players dealing with nagging injuries. Just using the team's schedule to count possible games does not factor in situations like this where it is known the player won't play in every game.

The NBA schedule is variable with some teams playing way more games. If each team gets 25 or so starting players a week than the matchup is fair. Otherwise one team can have 40 players going while another has 30. Reason football is fair is because everyone has same number of players that week.

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?

Absolute must. I’m surprised this isn’t towards the top of the list.

I was just writing this suggestion and looked down to see yours written... It should be 3 or 4 max games per position per week. They have a max games in rotisserie pools but over the course of a season max games is way less an issue as it is in a 7 day period.

Will have to do fantasy basketball with ESPN because of this and their fantasy app sucks. I don't get how Yahoo hasn't realized this...

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
