Overview
One of the core datasets in the R nflvers package is the player stats data.
Offensive Stats
To load the offensive stats, execute the following command.
pstats <- nflreadr::load_player_stats(2021)
the following demonstrates how to load data from a specific season, or from multiple seasons.
pstats <- nflreadr::load_player_stats(seasons = 2021)
pstats2 <- nflreadr::load_player_stats(seasons = 2021:2022)
Kicking Stats
Kicking stats can be obtained by passing in the stat_type argument, setting it to "kicking".
kstats <- nflreadr::load_player_stats(2021, stat_type = "kicking")
