My Team: Your Yahoo League, Scored by the Clutch Score

Connect your Yahoo league and ClutchFF shows the points sitting on your bench, grades your roster against the rest of your league, and finds waiver adds and trades that are measured before you see them.

The rankings tell you who is good. My Team tells you what to do with the players you actually have. Connect your Yahoo Fantasy league and ClutchFF reads your roster, scores it with this week’s Clutch Score, and shows you three things: the points sitting on your bench, how your roster stacks up against everyone else in your league, and the waiver adds and trades that would close the gap.

It works with every Yahoo league on your account: if you play in three leagues, you get all three.

Connecting takes a few seconds

  1. Open My Team from the sidebar (the jersey icon) or the phone menu.
  2. Click Connect Yahoo. You sign in on Yahoo’s own page, not ours.
  3. Approve read access to your fantasy teams, and you land back on ClutchFF with your team loaded.
The My Team page before connecting, with a Connect Yahoo button
Before you connect: one button, and a note that we only ask to read.

The access is read-only. We can see rosters, league settings, standings and the waiver pool. We cannot set your lineup, make a claim or send a trade, so every move below is one you make yourself in Yahoo. If you have more than one team, click the team name to switch leagues. The page remembers the last one you looked at.

Every league on your Yahoo account is one click away.

Lineup: the points you’re leaving on the bench

The Lineup tab shows your roster exactly as it is filed in Yahoo, in your league’s own slots. Next to each player is his Clutch Score for the week, our projection built from the matchup, the Vegas line and how much he is actually being used. Flip between PPR, half-PPR and standard at the top to match your league.

Then we solve for the best lineup you could legally start, FLEX included, and compare it with the one you filed. If there is a gap, a banner up top says how big it is, and a green tag on each row says which move closes it. Players on a bye drop to the bench on their own.

The Lineup tab: a banner reading three swaps are worth 11.2 points, with swap tags on the starters and bench
In the sample league, three moves this manager already owns are worth 11.2 points: Kincaid over Pitts at TE, Higgins over a questionable Warren at FLEX, and the Texans over the Bears.

The pill in the top corner says how long ago the roster came back from Yahoo. If you change your lineup in Yahoo, reload the page and the swap tags update.

It’s built for the phone in your hand on Sunday morning, too. The team name leads, the week and the total stack, and the swap tags shrink to fit so you never lose a player’s name.

Report card: a grade, and moves that are checked first

The second tab reads every roster in your league and the whole waiver pool, then grades your team. The first build takes about a minute. After that the report is saved for the week, so it opens straight away; press Refresh after injury news or a waiver run to rebuild it.

At the top you get:

  • A letter grade and a one-line verdict, with a short outlook under it.
  • Where you rank at every position in your league, from your starters’ projected points per game over the next four weeks. Kickers and defenses are ranked on this week, since you stream them. Green is the top third of the league, red the bottom third.
  • Holes: any position outside the top third of your league, with what is wrong and how serious it is.
  • This week: the start/sit changes from the Lineup tab, with the numbers.
The Report card: a B-minus grade, position ranks against the league, holes, and this week's start/sit notes
The sample team is second in the league at running back and tenth at wide receiver. That receiver hole is what most of the moves below go after.

Below that are the moves:

  • Waiver moves. Every available player is tested against your starting lineup. A pickup to hold is measured on points per game over the weeks ahead, and a stream on this week alone, and each one names the player to drop.
  • Trade targets. We search one-for-one, two-for-one and one-for-two deals with every team in your league. A trade only makes the list if it raises bothteams’ best starting lineups and looks fair on consensus value, and it never sends away a starter at a position where you are already short. Each one shows what it does for you and for them, plus a line to pitch it with.
  • More ideas. Deals and pickups that help you but miss one of those checks sit behind a button, each with the check it misses spelled out in amber.
Waiver moves and trade targets, each with the points it adds for you and for the other team
Every number here is measured: +2.9 for you and +1.6 for them means both starting lineups get better.

The numbers come from us, not from the AI

The grade, the headline and the one-line reasons are written by an AI model. Every number and every move comes from our own code. The code finds the holes, runs the trade search and tests the waiver pool; the model only chooses from those lists and explains its choices. Then we check its picks again before they reach you. A trade that doesn’t help both lineups is thrown out, whoever suggested it.

The “This week” notes skip the model entirely. They come straight from the lineup optimizer, so they can’t invent an injury or a player you don’t have.

Look back at the weeks you’ve played

Step back a week with the arrow and My Team turns into a scorecard: your final score, who you played, where your score ranked across the whole league that week, and how the Clutch Score did on each of your starters. The projections are the ones we locked before that week’s first kickoff and never recomputed, so nothing gets quietly corrected later. The Lineup you started tab shows your bench too, and tells you if someone there outscored a starter.

A finished week: a win, 121.6 to 112.8, with the Clutch projection and actual score for each starter
A sample Week 2: a win, the third-best score in the league, and the Clutch Score within half a point of the starters' total.

What we keep

  • Your Yahoo sign-in is encrypted and kept in a cookie in your own browser. It is not stored on our servers. Disconnect, at the top of My Team, deletes it.
  • We save each report card, keyed to your team and the week, so it opens instantly the next time you visit.
  • We never write to your Yahoo account. We can’t: we only asked to read.

Yahoo is the only site we connect to for now. If you play on ESPN or Sleeper, the start/sit tool and the trade analyzer work on any roster you type in.
