Be honest, does anyone root against your favorite team if it means good things for your fantasy team?
I used to a little bit. If the Rams were playing the Chargers and I had LT, I wouldn't be so upset if he scored a touchdown or two. But the past few years I've made a vow to never root against the Rams for fantasy, even in the slightest bit.

Never. I guess if I have a player and he does good against the Bears, it hurts a bit less if I win that week because of it, but I'm still pissed off if the Bears lose.
Nope. Honestly, I don't root for or against anyone based on fantasy unless it's a game which I wouldn't otherwise care about. When I'm watching football, I'm watching a football game, not watching a fantasy football game...

Very very rarely. The only time it happens is if I know my winning fantasy (and normally making money) hinges on one player doing well and that player is playing SF. I've found myself hoping that the player I need does well but at the same time hoping SF wins. Of course in recent years, SF getting a win in and of itself was a task, so I seemed to find myself rooting for my FF player by halftime because SF had already taken themselves out of the game.

Not to say I haven't been tempted before, but yeah, never unless the Cowboys are up by more than 14 in the 4th and I need somebody to get some garbage points.
