1 year ago Post 2016, we've been using a different source to pull rosters that had more information and detail. Unfortunately, the way that roster source tagged position for kickers was inconsistent with how position was tagged for our pre-2016 roster source (essentially, pre-2016, position would be K and depth_chart_position would be NA, 2016-on, position would be SPEC for "Specialist" and depth_chart_position would be K). We've resolved that inconsistency with the newest roster rebuild:
nflreadr::load_rosters(2007:2023) |>
dplyr::filter(last_name == "Folk") |>
dplyr::select(first_name, last_name, position, team, season)

Describe the bug
player.names <- fast_scraper_roster(1999:2023)Ran this and noticed the most recent kicker is from 2018 and there's only one. The next recent are all from 2015. Need this for my WAR code to bring the kickers along.
thanks much!
