Supporting facts
- 11 successful regular-window claims; free-agent adds and failed bids are excluded. Other-11 claim median: 20.
- Baker Mayfield: 4 attributed starts / 60.5 points.
- Jake Moody: 5 attributed starts / 38.3 points.
- Riley Patterson: 4 attributed starts / 30.6 points.
- All attributed waiver starts: 19 / 161.9 points. Total roster scoring: 1,576.9.
- Known zero-dollar successful bids: 1; missing bid amounts: 0. The season budget was 100; no remaining-budget claim is inferred.
- Above the weekly median in 1 of 4 starts.
- Week 7: Baker Mayfield 16.2; other starting QBs' median 18.1.
- Week 12: Baker Mayfield 13.4; other starting QBs' median 20.8.
- Week 13: Baker Mayfield 10.9; other starting QBs' median 20.2.
- Week 14: Baker Mayfield 20.1; other starting QBs' median 11.8.
- Rationale: one above-median start and the matched average support a coverage-only verdict, without assuming a displaced starter or a reason for the move.
- 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 2023 league and scoring, only weeks 7, 12, 13, 14. 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 weekly roster arrays have no exact within-window replay state; snapshot timing is unresolved.
- 6 pick transfers have final-owner evidence without complete event chronology.
