Getting Player Stats for a whole DEFense

Sorry probably my first attempt at asking this question was ill formed.   Here is what i need.

Just the same as i get the player_stats for Michael Vick or Tom Brady, i also want to get the "player_stats" for the Detroit Lions Defense i.e. i don;t want to have to go through every Lions defensive player tallying their pts to get the Detroit Lions Defense Team Pts total.

Hope that makes sense.

  • Hi nik,

    defense players have a player id as well.

    e.g.

    http://fantasysports.yahooapis.com/fantasy/v2/player/257.p.100033/stats;type=week;week=1

    That will get the defense stats for the Baltimore Ravens for the first week:
