As you can see these 4 players, clearly describe a very tight range of outputs for Jeff Withey. Withey has better comps, and worse comps than these 4, but these 4 comps best describe the median of the 40 comps for Jeff Withey. So we should expect the performance from Jeff Withey to be near the average of these 4 players.
