Pros: A former first-round pick, Leftwich knows what it's like to lead a team and be counted on to make big plays. The veteran passer has a potentially dangerous rushing attack to fall back on and a quality receiver in Antonio Bryant and tight end Kellen Winslow to play catch with. Tampa Bay's defense figures to be shaky, so we expect a lot of passing from the Bucs.

Cons: Leftwich is always hurt: He hasn't started a full lineup of games in his entire career. His release is too slow and it often leaves him susceptible to the big hit; he has topped 60 percent passing just once in his career (2004). Outside of Bryant and Winslow, Tampa Bay doesn't offer much in the way of playmakers on offense.

Fantasy tip: Don't draft Leftwich under any circumstancek, even though he has won the starting job. Avoid him at all costs.
