Standard disclaimer - the TVFR is just a simulation, and does not capture local features that can affect your reception, like buildings and trees. That said, you should be able to get stations with single digit noise margin, as long as you have an unobstructed view to the horizon in the direction of the transmitter.
Any stations off of 70-ish and 203-ish are pretty much in the hobbyist realm, where you'll need to focus dedicated antenna(s) directly at them to pick up much. And reception from these stations would likely be intermittent, if at all.
The odd man out is WYES, as you pointed out. Combining a VHF-high antenna like the Antennacraft Y5713 with a UHF antenna like the Antennas Direct DB8e is straightforward - use a passive UVSJ (ca $5 from Solid Signal) or an amplifier with UHF and VHF inputs like the RCA TVPRAMP1R ... but most of your stations have plenty of signal ... so unless you want to try for stations from WBXN down, you should be able to use a passive combiner.
The DB8e is special, in that you can point the panels at different directions and it will combine those signals without destructive interference. In your case, one panel pointed at compass 61 and the other at 204 should pick up all the channels from WHNO up, and maybe WBXN too. WYES is out-of-band for the DB8e.
