If you play fantasy sports through Yahoo, you need to get the Yahoo Fantasy sports app. It's the most convenient way to check on how your teams are doing.

One thing is for certain, I love not having to pull out my phone everytime I want to see how my team is doing, even if it turns out I'm losing pretty bad.
