How to Add a Co-Manager in Yahoo Fantasy Football

Join forces to beat the competition! If you’re looking to share the responsibilities of managing your Yahoo Fantasy Football team with a friend or colleague, you can easily add a co-manager. This feature allows another person to assist you in various tasks related to your team. Let’s dive into the details of how to add a co-manager and make the most of this collaborative feature.

What is a Co-Manager in Yahoo Fantasy Football?

Inviting a co-manager to your Yahoo Fantasy Football team grants them access to perform most of the tasks you can, except for making changes to the “Edit Team Information” page. This means they can help you manage your roster, set lineups, make trades, and more, all while sharing the load and strategizing together.

How to Add a Co-Manager:

Adding a co-manager to your Yahoo Fantasy Football team is a straightforward process:

1. Access Team Settings: Log in to your Yahoo Fantasy Football account and navigate to your team’s page.
2. Invite Co-Manager: Look for the “Co-Manager Settings” or a similar option within the settings menu.
3. Send Invitation: Enter the email address of the person you want to invite as a co-manager. An invitation will be sent to them.
4. Confirmation: Once your co-manager accepts the invitation, they’ll have access to the team.

Co-Manager’s Abilities and Responsibilities:

Co-managers can perform various tasks alongside the main manager, including:

• Managing the roster
• Setting lineups
• Making trades
• Participating in league discussions
• Interacting with other league members

Additionally, co-managers can even queue up and select players during the live draft if the main manager isn’t present in the draft lobby.

Managing Co-Managers:

If you encounter any issues with a co-manager or decide to make changes, you have the option to do so:

• Removing Co-Managers: If a co-manager isn’t playing nice or if you no longer wish to have them as part of your team, access the “Co-Manager Settings” to remove or lock them from the team.

Commissioners’ Role in Team Management:

Being a commissioner adds more control and flexibility to managing your fantasy league:

• Assigning New Managers: Commissioners have the authority to assign a team to a new manager at any time. Note that there are certain steps to follow, especially in Private Prize Leagues.
• Transferring Duties: If you plan to step down as commissioner after the season ends, you can transfer the commissioner duties to another manager.

Commissioner Responsibilities and Team Transfers:

• Team Transfers: In Public Free or Public Prize Leagues, team transfers aren’t possible. However, commissioners of Private Prize Leagues can make team transfers, but they need to cancel the contest and unlock the team list before doing so.

Connect with the Fantasy Community:

Engage with fellow fantasy managers through various platforms:

• Join discussions on league settings, roster advice, and relevant hockey news.
• Follow the rules and guidelines to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience.
• Explore the Yahoo Fantasy Sports subreddit for additional support and insights.

Remember, Yahoo Fantasy Football offers a co-manager feature that lets you share the excitement and responsibilities of managing your team with others. Whether you’re collaborating with friends or seeking assistance, adding a co-manager can enhance your fantasy football experience. So, get ready to team up and conquer the fantasy league together!
