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?
Use the upper range only when you expect to start him and comparable alternatives are scarce.
When should you bid less—or walk away?
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.

Use these ranges as a planning aid. Your league’s bidding habits, roster size, remaining budget, scoring and alternatives can change the sensible price.
