Beyond Flat Point Projections
Yahoo's standard algorithm often generates median point totals that don't reflect how football is actually played. Two players might both be projected for 13.2 points, but one gets 20 touches near the goal line while the other relies on a single deep prayer.
Pylon separates high-value opportunity from low-probability noise by measuring red zone touch share, designed pass routes, and goal-line carry frequency.
Instant 0-99 Visual Evaluation
Instead of digging through dense stat sheets on mobile, Pylon distills complex volume and efficiency data into a clean, intuitive 0-99 circular rating score.
This gives Yahoo managers an immediate visual read on whether a waiver claim, trade target, or flex starter is trending upward or losing volume to backfield teammates.
