FFLR Package

What exactly is the FFLR Package?

The FFLR Package uses ESPN fantasy football data to solve all fantasy football questions in any given public league. With 48 functions FFLR can show all drafted players in a particular league as well as predicting the best roster and standings at the end of the season.

To begin…

library (fflr)

This package wasn't listed in the provided list so I had to install a package archive file and then import it in. Now that the package is installed you must choose a league ID to use their data. I searched a random league and am using league code "42654852."

ffl_id(leagueId <- "42654852")

Temporarily set `fflr.leagueId` option to 42654852

[1] "42654852"

As shown above, now all fucntions will be working with this specific league.

Functions:

Bonus Function 2: opponent_ranks

This function shows how every team in the NFL performs against each position in fantasy, ranked against other teams as well as average points allowed to that position. It's updated through week 6 or when I'm presenting it should be week 7.
