NCAAF season fantasy/statistical leaderboard
Season player leaderboard from our licensed paid aggregator's NCAAF player-season stats (migration 266's bdl_ncaaf_surface_snapshots, surface player_season_stats), covered by that aggregator's all-sports redistribution agreement (vendor-licences.tsv). NOT backed by the other NCAAF stats feed we ingest: that source is quotable but not servable (see docs/measurable-servable-quotable-2026-09-01.md and issue #1213), so it is never used here. fantasy_points_ppr is OUR OWN computation (standard PPR: 0.04/pass yd, 4/pass TD, -2/INT, 0.1/rush or rec yd, 6/rush or rec TD, 1/reception) over the aggregator's raw box-score totals; the underlying data carries no fantasy total itself, unlike the column of the same name on GET /v1/nfl/leaders. There is no min_games parameter: the underlying payload carries no games-played field at all (verified against every row). Leaders are identified by name/position/jersey_number and team name/abbreviation; the aggregator's own numeric player/team ids are never served (its licence bars redistributing them). player.id is OUR canonical players.bbs_id uuid, resolved through our own bridge, and is the field to join on: prefer it to matching a leader by name, which is ambiguous for roughly a third of this surface. It is null for an athlete we have not bridged yet: a null means "not resolved", never "no such player". There is no team id: our NCAAF teams carry no identifier from this aggregator, so only the player side is bridged. No headshot_url is served for NCAAF. The only college headshots we hold come from a source whose terms permit personal, non-commercial use only, so serving them is not licensed; the aggregator that IS licensed publishes no player images at all.
