Welcome to week 7!

Custom gold-mining charts (that are specific to your league settings) are now available in our app. They are calculated slightly differently -using the top and bottom deciles for the error bars instead of the pseudomedian confidence interval. Visit our app and set up an account to input your league settings.

The graphs below summarize the projections from a variety of sources. This week’s summary includes projections from: NumberFire, CBS, ESPN, FFToday, FantasyPros, FleaFlicker and FantasySharks. The data for this article was collected on 10/22/26. For more details on WR gold mining and how to interpret the graphs above, see Chad’s post explaining gold mining .

Standard Scoring League Quarterbacks

From the graph below notice that:

  • Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love, Patrick Mahomes, Bo Nix and Tyler Shough are the five players with the largest upside (as measured from their (pseudo)medians). For these players, some projections place much higher valuations than others. If you’re projected to lose and want a risky swing, these are players to consider.
  • Jared Goff, Jordan Love, Bryce Young, Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray are the players with the smallest downside, suggesting less uncertainty on the low end. If you’re likely to win and want to reduce downside risk, these players may deserve extra attention.
  • On the other hand, Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, Kirk Cousins, Bo Nix and Tyler Shough are the five players with the largest downside this week. If you plan to start them, it’s worth checking why some projections are so low.
