2024 · Commissioner's Premier Cup VI
Herbert filled half the schedule without erasing the gap
Justin Herbert supplied seven of bluemanrocks' fourteen regular-season QB starts, all from a waiver acquisition. His 17.3 points per start remained below the other teams' 19.0 weekly median over those same weeks, and he cleared that median only twice. The pickup carried a meaningful workload without creating a scoring edge.

Supporting facts
- 5 successful regular-window claims; free-agent adds and failed bids are excluded. Other-11 claim median: 21.
- Justin Herbert: 7 attributed starts / 121.3 points.
- Cincinnati Bengals: 3 attributed starts / 26 points.
- Tyler Bass: 2 attributed starts / 17 points.
- All attributed waiver starts: 12 / 164.3 points. Total roster scoring: 1,318.3.
- Known zero-dollar successful bids: 5; missing bid amounts: 0. The season budget was 100; no remaining-budget claim is inferred.
- Above the weekly median in 2 of 7 starts.
- Week 7: Justin Herbert 14.8; other starting QBs' median 18.8.
- Week 8: Justin Herbert 24.1; other starting QBs' median 21.2.

- Rationale: workload and scoring quality are separate. The benchmark averages the other 11 teams' occupied-QB medians over weeks 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of 2024.
Comparison and window
Same 2024 league and scoring, only weeks 7, 8, 10, 11, 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.
Coverage limits
- 1 starts (16.74 known points) have uncertain acquisition origin.
