First 10 minutes with Scoring Zone — log in, draft with PigPro, set a lineup.

Quickstart

This walks you from a cold login to a drafted roster in about ten minutes. If you already use the Yahoo app, the only new thing is letting PigPro tell you who to pick.

1. Open the dashboard

Go to app.scoring.zone. The landing page shows your league hero card (season, week, your record), recent activity, and service health. If your record shows 0-0 · Week 0, the Yahoo OAuth token may be stale — check /api/health for the yahoo_api field.

2. Open Draft Analytics

Click Analytics → Draft Analytics in the top nav (or go directly to /draft-analytics). You'll see:

  • Four stat tiles at the top (player count, mock drafts, model accuracy, last data freshness).
  • The Draft Simulation Engine (configurable mock runs).
  • Position distribution charts.
  • The Player Database table — the one you actually use for drafting.

The Player Database is sorted by PigPro score desc by default. The top few rows are the players you should consider first.

3. Read a PigPro score

A PigPro cell looks like:

8.33
  • Gold gradient = Tier 1 / PRIME (score ≥ 7.5). Max observed today: Justin Jefferson 8.33.
  • Green = Tier 2 / CHOICE (5.5–7.5).
  • Amber = Tier 3 / SELECT (3.5–5.5).
  • Gray = Tier 4 / RESERVE (< 3.5).

Each cell is clickable — opens the trading card.

4. Open a trading card

Click any PigPro score cell (or a player name). The card shows:

  • Foil border colored by tier (gold for Tier 1, silver/bronze/gray below).
  • The 0–10 score in a radial gold ring, with tier + recommendation pill.
  • Projected / Ceiling / Floor PPR totals.
  • Component breakdown — 7 horizontal bars, each showing the component's 0–10 value, its weight %, and its contribution to the final score. The numbers in the bars sum to the PigPro score.
  • Context: our league ADP, NFL draft slot, combine stats.
  • Recent news impacts (if any).
  • 30-day score sparkline.

See Trading card anatomy for the full field-by-field walkthrough.

5. Draft from PigPro, not ADP alone

When it's your turn, look at the top few unticked players in the Player Database sorted by PigPro. The League ADP column shows where that player typically goes — a big gap between PigPro rank and League ADP is a value flag:

  • Your top PigPro pick going at ADP 50 = steal.
  • An ADP 5 player sitting at PigPro 5.5 = fade.

Tip

During a live Yahoo draft, leave this tab open in a second window. Cross-reference every pick Yahoo surfaces against its PigPro card — you'll notice ceilings you would've skipped.

6. Set your weekly lineup

Once the season starts, /lineup shows your Yahoo roster enriched with PigPro scores in gold/green/amber/gray pills per player. Sort mentally: start anyone PRIME or CHOICE at positions where you have multiple options; RESERVE-tier players are a start-of-last-resort.

Projected points on the page prefer PigPro's projection over Yahoo's stale default when available.
