Get all players' scoring, regardless if they are on a team or free agent

[Chris-Whaley]

The function team_roster() gets the scoring data for players on teams, but there is no function to get the projected and scoring data for players on the waiver wire. Could this be added?

There's currently no way to show just waiver wire players, but the all_players() function has next_wk column for projections. You can filter out players from team_roster() using the unique ID to get waiver wire players.

The all_players() default row limits were changed a little in 0.3.13, so check the documentation for that.

library(tidyverse)
library(fflr)
rosters <- bind_rows(team_roster(lid = 252353))
all_players(limit = NULL) %>% 
  filter(is.na(match(id, rosters$id))) %>% 
  select(week, first, last, pro, pos, fpts, next_wk, this_szn)

Is there a way to get the fantasy points scored by player per week, regardless if they're rostered?

[k5cents]

I don't believe so, but that's definitely a feature that should be added. Poking around the API, I can only get it to return six stats for a given player. For example, Dalvin Cook's stats have these totals (on Wednesday, pre week 12):

1. Last week = 20.00000
2. Week before that = 11.20000
3. This season (so far) = 216.30000
4. Last season = 225.15700
5. Next week = 20.55676
6. Preseason projection = 239.40000

I'll have to poke around some more and see if there's an easy way to return all the weeks, like you would see on the website. The individual statistics and player history is the one big thing missing from this package (#16).

One workaround for rostered players would be to use team_roster(week = 1) and just change the week.

Thanks for your efforts. I'm really enjoying using this.

Only a year late, but the new list_players() function has all the functionality of the "Add Players" page on the ESPN website.
