If you want to swing for the fences in Week 3 of the 2009 fantasy football season, here are some sneaky starts. These players could boom or bust — but what fun is it if you don’t give it a try?
QB Byron Leftwich, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Although not exactly thought of as a quality fantasy football starter, Leftwich has a lot going for him this week. He’s playing at home against a banged up New York Giants defense and he’s coming off of a big week. Roll the dice if you are feeling lucky.

RB Chris Wells, Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are going against the Indianapolis Colts — the team that just got ran over by Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Wells, even though he’ll be playing behind Tim Hightower, could be productive in Week 3.
WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys
The Carolina Panthers have struggled on defense this season — especially against speed. Miles Austin can run and he could have a big day against the lumbering Panthers D.
TE Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
Going against the Minnesota Vikings, the Niners probably won’t have much success running the ball. If that’s the case, expect Vernon Davis to get plenty of looks from quarterback Shaun Hill.
