During the season, you can add or drop players to replace injured players or to upgrade at positions of need (where your draft left you thin or where players are underperforming). You can add or drop players in one of two ways (see Chapter 11 for more):

 The free agency pool: In Yahoo! default leagues, all undrafted fantasy players begin the season as free agents, which means they’re available to be added to your roster at any time. You can swap any player on your roster for any free agent player, using your league’s list of available players. Simply create an open roster slot by dropping one of your current players and then adding the new player. Many free agent pickups will surprise you and become staples in your lineup, so making good adds/drops is one of the keys to fantasy success.

 The waiver wire: If another team drops a player, the player goes on waivers for a limited time before becoming a free agent. This means all coaches have a set amount of time (usually two days) to decide if they want to add him to their teams. In order to add a player on waivers, you must make a waiver claim (by selecting him and a player on your roster to be dropped) and wait until the waiver period has expired. If you have the highest waiver priority — set in reverse order of your draft at the start of the season — you’re awarded that player. After a claim is awarded, your waiver priority drops to the lowest number.
