A People's Pigskin Thanksgiving (with Polls)

As this post hits the Web, some of you are watching balloons make their way down Manhattan. Others are preparing your turkeys (hopefully with better results than this). Some are hoping their travel plans don't turn into a Steve Martin movie. And we at the People's Pigskin are preparing for a fantasy football feast. We asked you, the Internet, to help us make some early decisions about this week's matchup against the VinSethVaughn Bears. And here are your piping-hot results.
Quarterback: You treated Tony Romo the way many people treat that canned cranberry jelly that makes its way to so many tables. The majority of you passed on him, so we'll have to go another direction at that position.
Running back: On the other hand, you unanimously reached for Ray Rice the way most of us reach for the pumpkin pie. He'll start for us this evening against the San Francisco 49ers.
Tight end: Since both of the tight ends on our roster have games today, we pretty much knew one would be starting for the Internet's favorite fantasy football team. And the winner is Jason Witten, who hosts the Miami Dolphins in the late afternoon.
As for the rest of our lineup, we still have a lot of decisions to make. So we have whipped up a fresh batch of lineup polls from scratch. They will stay open through Saturday night, so you can vote on them today while waiting for dinner, or you can come back to them later after the crowds have dispersed. Either way, we would appreciate it if you cast your vote and helped this experiment in fantasy sports democracy continue.
Enjoy the games, everybody. And remember your reason to be thankful. If you're having trouble coming up with your own, here's a hint.
