Acquisition totals include only starts with a stable ownership spell across the historical game-date window. Unknown origins remain separate; these totals are not ranked against peers.

Supporting facts

• 24 successful regular-window claims; free-agent adds and failed bids are excluded. Other-11 claim median: 18.
• Justin Herbert: 6 attributed starts / 136.7 points.
• Mike Davis: 8 attributed starts / 99.5 points.
• Pittsburgh Steelers: 7 attributed starts / 80 points.
• All attributed waiver starts: 44 / 533.9 points. Total roster scoring: 1,604.2.
• Known zero-dollar successful bids: 11; missing bid amounts: 0. The season budget was 500; no remaining-budget claim is inferred.
• Above the weekly median in 4 of 6 starts.
• Week 5: Justin Herbert 26.4; other starting QBs' median 20.8.
• Week 8: Justin Herbert 23.2; other starting QBs' median 18.6.
• Week 9: Justin Herbert 22.4; other starting QBs' median 23.2.
• Week 10: Justin Herbert 21.5; other starting QBs' median 20.
• Week 11: Justin Herbert 27.7; other starting QBs' median 18.1.
• Week 12: Justin Herbert 15.4; other starting QBs' median 19.8.
• Rationale: both the matched-week average and four above-median starts support a scoring-edge claim, not a price or incumbent-improvement claim.
• Acquisition totals include only starts with a stable ownership spell across the historical game-date window. Unknown origins remain separate; these totals are not ranked against peers.
• Same 2020 league and scoring, only weeks 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Compute the median of the other 11 teams' occupied QB starters each week, then average those weekly medians. Rank compares cumulative QB-slot scoring for all teams over those identical weeks, including different starting quarterbacks on peer teams. Ties share a rank. This is not an NFL-wide quarterback rank. The average weekly median and the ranking of team totals are different comparisons. Starter-level means at least within one point per start below that benchmark, not proof of a bargain or an improvement over the previous starter.
• 1 starts (15.4 known points) have uncertain acquisition origin.
• 3 weekly roster arrays have no exact within-window replay state; snapshot timing is unresolved.
