Ownership across leagues does not tell us whether he is free in yours. A big game can create demand without creating a lasting job. Compare expected opportunities, the weeks you need covered and the value of the player you would drop.
What would justify paying more?
The higher one-QB range applies only after his start is confirmed and you need him in your lineup.
