First of all, congratulations are in order (sort of) for Jay Cutler, Matt Cassel and Matt Forte for splitting the votes in our poll on fantasy football's biggest bust. Results can be found at the bottom of this post. We could send them this trophy to commemorate this achievement, but I would worry about how they would split it.
Anyway, on to the results from week 1 of the People's Pigskin's quest to win the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge. The Internet's favorite fantasy football team racked up 119 points, good enough to be tied for 56,791st among all NFL.com players and tied for 19th in the 9beersfantasysportstavern league. Here's a breakdown of the results.
Aaron Rodgers, QB: 28 for 42 passing for 422 yards and 4 touchdowns, 13 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 1 fumble, 1 interception and 40 fantasy points (top score among quarterbacks).
Ray Rice, RB: 159 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns and 27 fantasy points (top score among running backs). Also, he's worth double the points this week if we keep him in the lineup.
Ryan Grant, RB: 65 rushing yards, 18 receiving yards and 8 fantasy points.
DeSean Jackson, WR: 14 receiving yards, 1 touchdown and 7 fantasy points.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR: 6 receptions for 82 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 fumble and 20 fantasy points. (Only Steve Breaston had more among receivers.) Also, Fitzgerald is eligible for double points.
Jason Witten, TE: 27 receiving yards and 2 fantasy points. The good news: He's also eligible for double points.
Stephen Gostkowski, K: 0 for 1 on field goals, 2 for 2 on extra points and 2 fantasy points.
New York Jets, D/ST: 14 points allowed, 281 yards allowed, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery and 13 fantasy points. This defense is worth double the points this week.
Now it's time for you, the Internet, to help select the team that will take the field for the People's Pigskin. Remember that you're voting for 2 running backs and 2 receivers, and that Rice, Fitzgerald, Witten and the Jets are worth double the points if we keep them in the lineup. For example, if NFL.com credits Rice with 20 fantasy points this week, the People's Pigskin would get 40 points for his work. It's a reward for being loyal to your players. (Right, Lane?)
The polls will close on Saturday before the first game kicks off. Please vote now.

The People's Choice - Wild Card
You, the Internet, are still speaking, even during the NFL playoffs. The People's Pigskin called on you to pick the lineup for the wild card round for the NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge, and here's how you voted.
Quarterback. Your choice for this round was Aaron Rodgers. His Green Bay Packers take on the Arizona Cardinals in the late Sunday game.
Running back. One choice was clear: Ray Rice, whose Baltimore Ravens face the New England Patriots in the early Sunday game. For the other spot, it was a tie between Ryan Grant and Cedric Benson. This one came down for a coin flip (without these officials), and the winner was Grant.
Wide receiver. Here we had clear winners for both spots. The winners are DeSean Jackson, whose Philadelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys in the Saturday night game, and Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals.
Tight end. Again, we have a clear winner: Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys.
Kicker. Here we have a member of the New England Patriots, Stephen Gostkowski.
Defense/special teams. This vote came down to another coin flip between the New York Jets and the Baltimore Ravens. The coin was flipped, and the winner is the New York Jets, who get the Cincinnati Bengals in the early Saturday game.
You can follow the People's Pigskin results here. The poll results are below. You still have time to vote on the fantasy football bust of the year. We'll have those results Sunday.
