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: FantasySharks, CBS,
NumberFire, FleaFlicker, ESPN and FFToday. The data for this article was
collected on 11/14/26. For more details on WR gold mining and how to
interpret the graphs above, see

Projection Graphs

Position:
Standard Scoring League Quarterbacks
From the graph below notice that:
Brock Purdy, Jayden Daniels, Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford and Geno Smith 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.
Drake Maye, Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Bryce Young and Drew Lock 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, Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, C.J. Stroud, Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson 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.
