But it also gives you some flexibility... like, say, if Dwyane Wade were to get injured and be out for 6 weeks... you could still play him for 4 games at the end of the season if you had those games left to play (not that you'd really want to, but his 4 games would probably be as good as anyone you could get off the waiver wire at that point). It's only a hypothetical situation, but I'm sure you can see what I mean. Well, the idea is that if the average player plays about 3.5 games/week, then 75 games means 2 less weeks.

I'm also a fan of your max games limit of 75. But, me personally at least, I have something against using all my games before the season is over. It might be some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder, but I can't help it, I will horde my games left to use at the end of the year. So, how about, in addition to the max games limit, we push to shorten the fantasy season by a week or two? Those two weeks don't accurately represent what went on the rest of the year. Plus the season is too long anyway, by April, I usually feel like I've gotten a nadshot from Reggie Evans.
