nflverse

The nflverse is a set of packages dedicated to data and analysis of the National Football League.

Most data is stored in releases of the nflverse/nflverse-data repository, in various formats (csv, parquet, rds, qs being the primary ones). These can be accessed by any platform or programming language via the web URLs.

We also maintain a set of packages to facilitate access to this data and apply modelling.

R Packages

  • {nflverse} helps install and update all nflverse R packages.
  • {nflreadr} provides easy access to nflverse data repositories.
  • {nflfastR} cleans play by play data and applies EPA/WPA modelling.
    • Most users will want precomputed data, via nflreadr.
  • {nflplotR} facilitates plotting NFL data.
  • {nfl4th} studies fourth down decisions with nflverse data and models.
  • {nflseedR} simulates NFL season schedules with the user's model.

Python Packages

  • nflreadpy ports nflreadr to Python and provides easy, lightweight access to nflverse data repositories.
