The number of routes ran by a receiver isn’t available for free. So that’s nothing nflverse can provide.

True. I just think an "explosive" run play shouldn’t be compared to pass plays. It’s just an extraordinary good run play?

Well, actually 😅
10+ rushing yards correspond roughly to the 90th percentile, while 15+ passing yards are below the 80th percentile.

No. We did not maintain 2025 injury data at all

I have received several requests for nflfastR to add the number of “explosive plays” to the stats.
Is there a standardized definition of an explosive run or pass?
Something like 10+ rushing yards and 15+ passing yards?

For sure! I have a lot of painful case_whens that will look so much cleaner with new dplyr. More speed is also great. Davis‘ output is crazy useful.

While I like the new function and agree it’s nice syntax, this was always possible with a simple named vector.

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!
- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

Has there been any news since last year about NFL teams using Bluesky?
Or did we simply accept the ban?

There wasn’t much head coach news and I gave up on OC/DC because the data isn’t reliable and requires too much manual work.

Here are OC and DC variants but the data source isn't 100% reliable so there might be stuff wrong or missing.
