[Data Bug]ff_rankings missing historical/future data

[hoobadank]

Describe the data bug
What data is missing?
ecr_type='wp' between January each year to the end of the season. My guess would be a scheduling error that stops scraping data once the calendar year changes.

** Which file is having trouble?**
Which file?
fp_latest_weekly.csv/ fp_latest_weekly.rds don't appear to update between January and the start of the next season

Expected data
What should this look like?
The file would continue to be provide weekly rankings until the end of the season

fantasypros doesn’t update their in-season weekly ranks after the final week of the year, so it doesn’t make sense to scrape eg 2026 week 1 until August 2026 at the earliest

Maybe I am totally mistaken but the season continues into the follow calendar year. ie For the 2021 Season, week 17 and 18 were played 1/2/22-1/3/22 and 1/8/22-1/9/22 respectively. This means we have no weekly fantasypros rankings for any of the later weeks in the season.

Hmm. That seems strange, I agree. I believe you can use ffpros::fp_rankings(page = "half-point-ppr-rb", year=2021, week = 17) to retrieve rankings (although the team ID will be incorrect).

I'll look into the scraper, maybe it's a date issue of some sort.
