Fantasy football is a great way to get in on the action of the NFL season and compete with your friends. And with YouTube, there are plenty of resources available to help you learn how to play and become a successful fantasy football manager.

Finding a league

The first step is to find a fantasy football league to join. There are many different types of leagues out there, so you can find one that fits your interests and skill level. Some popular options include:

  • Public leagues: These are open to anyone to join and are typically hosted by websites or fantasy football platforms.
  • Private leagues: These are leagues that are invite-only and are usually made up of friends or family members.

Drafting your team

Once you've found a league, you'll need to draft your team. This is the process of selecting the players who will make up your roster. The draft order is typically determined randomly, and each manager will take turns selecting players until all of the roster spots have been filled.

Managing your team

Once your team is drafted, you'll need to manage it throughout the season. This includes setting your lineup, making waiver wire claims, and trading players. You'll also need to keep an eye on your players' injuries and bye weeks.

Sound like a lot? Don't worry, once you get into the thick of it, it all becomes second nature.

Using YouTube to improve your Fantasy Football performance

YouTube is a great resource for fantasy football managers of all levels. And for YouTube TV members, you can even connect your NFL Fantasy or Yahoo Fantasy accounts to your YouTube TV account to use the Fantasy View feature, so you can track your lineup's performance while watching the game.

There are also many YouTube channels that offer tips on how to draft your team, manage your roster, and make informed decisions throughout the season. Some of the most popular fantasy football channels on YouTube include:
