## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## FantasyPros NFL Projections, ADP & Rankings Scraper

Scrape FantasyPros consensus NFL projections, Average Draft Position (ADP), and expert consensus rankings (ECR) for all positions and scoring formats — in one actor.

FantasyPros aggregates projections from 100+ fantasy football analysts and is the #1 consensus data source in the industry. This actor gives you programmatic access to:

- **Weekly projections** with position-specific stat breakdowns (pass yds, rush yds, targets, etc.) and consensus fantasy points
- **ADP data** across standard, PPR, half-PPR, dynasty, and keeper formats
- **Expert consensus rankings (ECR)** with best/worst/std-dev spread across all participating analysts

### What you get

Each record includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `player_name` | Full player name (e.g. "Patrick Mahomes") |
| `team` | NFL team abbreviation (e.g. "KC") |
| `position` | Player position (QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST) |
| `scoring_format` | Scoring format used (STD, HALF, PPR) |
| `week` | NFL week number (1–18; 0 = season-long) |
| `data_type` | Record type: `projections`, `adp`, or `rankings` |
| `projected_points` | Consensus projected fantasy points |
| `projected_stats` | Position-specific stat projections (JSON string) |
| `adp` | Average Draft Position |
| `adp_source` | ADP format/source (e.g. "overall", "ppr-overall") |
| `consensus_rank` | Consensus Expert Rank (ECR) |
| `best_rank` | Best (lowest) rank from any expert |
| `worst_rank` | Worst (highest) rank from any expert |
| `std_dev` | Standard deviation of expert ranks |

#### Projected stats format by position

The `projected_stats` field is a JSON string with position-specific keys:

- **QB**: `pass_att`, `pass_cmp`, `pass_yds`, `pass_td`, `int`, `rush_att`, `rush_yds`, `rush_td`, `fl`
- **RB**: `rush_att`, `rush_yds`, `rush_td`, `rec`, `rec_yds`, `rec_td`, `fl`
- **WR**: `rec`, `rec_yds`, `rec_td`, `rush_att`, `rush_yds`, `rush_td`, `fl`
- **TE**: `rec`, `rec_yds`, `rec_td`, `fl`
- **K**: `fg`, `fga`, `xpt`
- **DST**: `sack`, `int`, `fr`, `ff`, `td`, `safety`, `pa`, `yds_agn`

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `dataType` | string | `projections` | Which data to scrape: `projections`, `adp`, or `rankings` |
| `positions` | array | all positions | Positions to include: QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST |
| `scoringFormat` | string | `STD` | Scoring format: `STD`, `HALF`, or `PPR` |
| `week` | integer | `1` | NFL week (1–18; 0 for season-long) |
| `adpFormat` | string | `overall` | ADP format: `overall`, `ppr-overall`, `half-ppr-overall`, `dynasty-overall`, `keeper-overall` |
| `maxItems` | integer | required | Maximum records to return (use 0 for unlimited) |

### Example inputs

**Get QB + RB projections for week 3 in PPR format:**
```json
{
  "dataType": "projections",
  "positions": ["QB", "RB"],
  "scoringFormat": "PPR",
  "week": 3,
  "maxItems": 200
}
````

**Get full PPR ADP for dynasty leagues:**

```json
{
  "dataType": "adp",
  "adpFormat": "dynasty-overall",
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

**Get consensus expert rankings for all skill positions:**

```json
{
  "dataType": "rankings",
  "positions": ["QB", "RB", "WR", "TE"],
  "scoringFormat": "PPR",
  "week": 1,
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result. You are charged only for records successfully scraped and returned.

### Notes

- A single run fetches one page per position (6 pages max for projections/rankings, 1 page for ADP). Typical run time is under 30 seconds.
- Data is updated weekly during the NFL regular season (August–January). Rankings and projections are available for weeks 1–18.
- The `week` parameter defaults to 1; the current active week is shown on the FantasyPros site.
- Projections for DST (Defense/Special Teams) include points allowed and yards allowed against, not individual defensive player stats.
