WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
If he is free in your league, he offers a Week 9 receiver option. Check his game status before committing a roster spot.
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.
Use the upper range only when you expect to start him and comparable alternatives are scarce.
Bid less if this is a bench stash or you can use a comparable free agent. An unused bench upgrade is worth less than a player who actually changes your starting lineup.
