Data Dictionary

[DavidAllyn68]

Hey guys - thanks for pulling this all together!!! Do you have a data dictionary explaining the columns? Most are self explanatory, but a few are cryptic (e.g. in weekly_data dakota, pacr, racr, wopr, and ..._epa).

Hi @DavidAllyn68! This project is mostly a wrapper of data compiled by the nflfastR community, and as such, their documentation holds what you're looking for. It can take a little searching to find the correct mapping from their function names to these - here is the page for weekly_data!

Thanks!

Was looking through this, and the vignettes, but I'm still confused by a couple of stats.

For example, wopr_x and wopr_y are in the seasonal data, but I only see a definition for for wopr:

Weighted OPportunity Rating - 1.5 x target_share + 0.7 x air_yards_share - a weighted average that contextualizes total fantasy usage.

What do the letters x and y mean? Expected and actual? Horizontal and vertical? Is there a more detailed resource available somewhere?

Thanks!
