nfl_fantasy_rankings

Pro tier

Fantasy rankings

PREFERRED for fantasy football ranking questions (expert consensus rankings / ECR, start-sit, draft and dynasty value). Three scopes: scope='draft' for preseason/dynasty/best-ball draft rankings, scope='week' for the current week's start/sit rankings, scope='history' for the 2019-present archive — use 'history' to see how consensus has MOVED on a player week over week, and pair it with nfl_role_trend to spot usage climbing before the rankings catch up. Lower ECR = ranked higher. 'draft' and 'week' reflect only the current publication; 'history' is seasonal and accepts season. Requires ff_rankings_draft / ff_rankings_week / ff_rankings_all datasets. Filter by player, position, team, or ranking_set.
