This repo hosts roster data intended to be used with nflfastR.
We used to combine
-
the legacy roster data from the nflfastR data repo (for the seasons 1999 to 2019) and
-
weekly scraped rosters from nfl.com (beginning with season 2020).
However, in the meanwhile we were able to decode the special player IDs
(UUIDs version 4) in the nflfastR play-by-play data using the new
funtion nflfastR::decode_player_ids(). Therefore the function
nflfastR::fast_scraper_roster() returned to
nflfastR providing roster data
from the free to use Sleeper
API.
The following table shows an example output of all 2020 QBs of the
Kansas City Chiefs. The variable gsis_id can be used to join the data
to nflfastR play-by-play data.
