Fantasy Football

Fantasy football season is fast approaching. Managers using Yahoo leagues will be happy to know that the official Yahoo! Fantasy Sports - Football iOS app got a major facelift. Besides a slick new interface, several added features will keep team managers in control during the 2013 NFL season. One major improvement is the ability to draft a team directly on the iPhone or iPad.

The user interface has been enhanced, with several navigation improvements and faster speed. Of course, to take advantage of all the app has to offer, a Yahoo account and fantasy league is required. Everything a fantasy fan would expect is included, such as live scoring, roster management and message board access on the go.

The 2012 fantasy football apps are finally hitting the App Store in anticipation of the upcoming NFL season. Here is a list of five apps that can help your draft and manage your fantasy football team. All of the apps listed support both the iPhone and iPad.

RotoWire Fantasy Football Draft Kit 2012 ($4.99 - iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) - You can't have a fantasy football league without a draft, and no decent fantasy football owner would be caught dead without a cheat sheet on draft day. The RotoWire Fantasy Football Draft Kit replaces the old pen and paper technique by automatically adjusting to fit your league settings. This is great app for keeping track of your draft and managing your picks on the fly. It's also cheaper than those old fantasy football magazines we used to buy.

Features include: A cheat sheet that ranks players based on projected stats for 2012 using your league's settings, the ability to manually rank players to your preference, a Watchlist for sleeper picks, easily keep track of who has been drafted, quick player search and more.
