Roster and lineup management in Yahoo Fantasy

Your roster is your entire team of acquired players, while your lineup refers to the players that are used in active roster positions. Managing your roster and lineup is important for having the best season possible.

  5. Click the position of the player you want to replace.
  6. Click a highlighted position.
