Arguments

league_id	Number for ESPN league. Probably 6 digits. Can be set globally in the options. See ffsched.league_id.
league_size	Number of teams in the league. Can be set globally in the options. See ffsched.league_size.
season	Season for which to scrape. Can be set globally in the options. See ffsched.season.
weeks	How many weeks are in schedule. Presently, this function requires that (league_size - 1) <= weeks < (2 * (league_size - 2)).
local, path_teams, path_scores	If your league is not public, you will have to download the appropriate JSON files, set local = TRUE, and point path_teams and path_scores to these JSON files. The JSON for path_teams should downloaded from http://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v3/games/ffl/seasons/{season}/segments/0/leagues/{league_id}?view=mtm and the JSON for path_scores should be downloaded from http://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v3/games/ffl/seasons/{season}/segments/0/leagues/{league_id}?view=mMatchup.
...	Additional parameters passed to generate_schedule()
overwrite	Whether to overwrite existing file at path, if it exists.
export	Whether to export.
dir	Directory to use to generate path if path is not explicitly provided.
file	Filename (without extension) to generate path if path is not explicitly provided.
