We are (finally) ready for the first Sunday of the National Football League season. Before we get this pigskin smorgasbord under way, we need to thank you, the Internet, for voting on the lineup polls that determine who the People's Pigskin will start this week against the Hudson Valley Hawks2. Here are the results.
Quarterback: Some of these choices will be simple. Tony Romo won this poll by a landslide, so he gets the start. He faces the New York Jets on Sunday night.
Running back: We might not have gotten the running we targeted in our draft, but we do have a few that you like. The top two vote-getters were Ray Rice (who plays the Pittsburgh Steelers) and DeAngelo Williams (who visits the Arizona Cardinals).
Wide receiver: We did get our targeted wideout, Larry Fitzgerald. He won this poll and gets the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Percy Harvin finished second, so he gets the other starting spot. He visits the San Diego Chargers today with his new quarterback.
Flex: This spot can go to a running back or a wide receiver. We will give it to the player who finishes third in his poll and gets the most votes. If there is a tie (as there was this week), we will go with the player projected by ESPN to score more points. This week, Joseph Addai is projected to score one more point than Wes Welker, so Addai gets the nod at the Houston Texans.
No surprises at tight end (Jason Witten, who visits the Jets) or defense/special teams (the Pittsburgh Steelers, who visit the Baltimore Ravens), and we already used John Kasay on Thursday night.
Grab some popcorn. We'll be back shortly with predictions for this week's action in the People's League.
