Yahoo! Daily Fantasy Review

The site makes filling out your lineup as simple of a process as possible. You'll see the standard player pool displayed, along with a player search bar and your remaining budget. The slate's games are displayed at the top of the screen and users have the option of filtering the player pool by individual games. Users have the option of exporting a previously created lineup in to a new contest where applicable.

The player pages are very informative, including stats, news along, full season game logs, and even a graph showing how a player has performed over the last 10 games relative to their average.

Yahoo! has offered a top-notch fantasy app for a while, and users can now play DFS on their app (available for Apple and Android devices).

Usability Rating: 9/10

Action

Yahoo! doesn't have as much action or as large payouts as the top two sites in the industry, but there is a solid amount of action and a good variety of contests on the site.

Yahoo! is committed to fair play and limit the number of entries per user in any contest to 10, or for a small contest, no more than 1% of total entries. It labels experienced users “veterans” and bans the use of scripting software to manage multiple contest entries.

Action Rating: 7/10

Rake

Yahoo! issues the standard 10 percent rake, and offers lower rakes than some of the larger sites at their high stakes games

Rake Rating: 9/10

Cashier and Support

PauPal is the only form of payment currently accepted by Yahoo!, which could be frustrating for some.

Getting support from Yahoo! is not a problem. They don’t have a telephone number posted, but you can post a message through a live chat or send an email via the site, both of which are responded to promptly. There are also various FAQ articles and a community forum to provide further support.

Cashier and Support Rating: 7/10

Bottom Line

Yahoo! has a very good interface, good rakes, emphasis on fair play, and a variety of game types. Because Yahoo! has so many users of traditional fantasy football contests, it has access to the largest untapped player pool in the industry, and has the potential to go from the No. 3 player in the game to one of the bona fide top players.

Overall Rating: 32/50
