Let's Brainstorm Player IDs

[mrcaseb]

I would like to collect IDs we should include in our player datasets. IDs have been a big problem in the last 1-2 years because mapping them to, e.g. gsis_ids, is sophisticated and buggy. We need automated processes that update esp. when Rookies enter the league.

Here's what I think we should have at least:

• gsis_id
• pff_id
• pfr_id
• espn_id
• otc_id

Fantasy people probably looking for stuff like

• sleeper
• mfl
• [ ]

offhand I'm thinking of:

• sportradar_id (legacy, but still impt for fantasy fb)
• nextgen stats (i.e. gsis_it_id, I think?)
• college football reference id
• spotrac (if we ever actually scrape them)
• fleaflicker uses sportradar
• yahoo id 🤢
• draftkings id
• fanduel id

I've also had request for wikidata id
