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 higher range only if his continuing role is confirmed and he would improve your weekly starting lineup.
When should you bid less—or walk away?
Use the lower range if Jeanty resumes most rushing work or this is only a depth pickup. An unused bench upgrade is worth less than a player who actually changes your starting lineup.
Win the right claim.
Use these ranges as a planning aid. Your league’s bidding habits, roster size, remaining budget, scoring and alternatives can change the sensible price.
