Rotting leaves are generally a sign of too much water. Other than cutting away these leaves, I would back off on any watering. Yucca plants do not respond well to a lot of water. They prefer dry situations with only occasional water.

It could also be weather related. We have had very weird weather across the US., with unseasonably warm temps one day, cold the next. These fluctuations can easily damage plants. This article may help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/yucca/yucca-cold-weather.htm [2]
