Yahoo opens Daily Fantasy Sports platform

SCOUT Fantasy's Editor-In-Chief Matt De Lima discusses the impact of Yahoo's DFS platform launch and the potential long-term effects on the industry.

Yahoo has officially joined the Daily Fantasy Sports arena. Just in time for the NFL season and second half of the MLB season, there’s a new huge competitor ready to take on DFS titans DraftKings and FanDuel. What does this mean for the industry? What does this mean for the players?

First of all, it is important to remember that not everyone out there is a diehard Fantasy player. There’s a massive, untapped market of casual players who are still out of the DFS loop.
