Hi Yahoo Fantasy Sports Team,

I’d like to suggest an optional commissioner setting for Fantasy Basketball: a weekly maximum games played cap for head-to-head leagues.

The idea would be simple: commissioners could set a maximum number of active player-games that count toward a team’s statistics during each weekly matchup. Once a team reaches that limit, additional games would no longer count.

This would help reduce the advantage created purely by maximizing games played through streaming, while still preserving waiver-wire strategy and lineup management. It would put more emphasis on roster construction, category strategy, and deciding which player-games are most valuable.

ESPN Fantasy Basketball already allows league managers to set a Games Played Limit for head-to-head matchups, and I’m fairly certain Fantrax offers similar flexibility. I’d much rather see Yahoo add the option than be forced to consider ESPN, because ESPN fantasy is obviously garbage.

Ideally, this could simply be an optional Private League commissioner setting:

Maximum Active Player Games Per Matchup: No Limit / Custom Number

Our league has been running for 17 years, and this is a feature we would absolutely use. I suspect plenty of other long-running competitive H2H leagues would find it valuable as well.

If possible, please forward this suggestion to the Fantasy Basketball product team for consideration.

Thank you,

Justin
