What's the fantasy board's opinion on this? Do you prioritize your fantasy team over your hate for rival players? Personally as a Saints fan I have a hard time pulling for Cam Newton, Roddy White, etc. so I tend to shy away from them come draft time.

You are hurting your chance at a good team if you do this.

If the right pick is Cam Newton, you take him. Then you hope he scores 4 rushing TDs and throws for 500 yds with 100 rushing yds but the saints pull out the win in both games.

Would do it. Would be hard to draft Cam because I fricking loathe him. I did have Steve Smith a couple times. I hate him too.

I guess if you look at like Cam and Ryan are going to have big games, so might as well have them on your team and make some good of the situation

A falcon has to be significantly better than a comparable player for me to take him.

When I play against a saint I cheer for the saints first, fantasy be damned.

Julio Jones and Matt Ryan will win someone a fantasy chmapionship this year. If they're a Saints fan so be it. It's all about $$$ & winning.

When I have players thats playng the Saints I cheer for my player and the Saints to win. Otherwise, Im cheering for the Saints to win. I was once kicked out my apartment couple years ago when Clinton Portis scored the game winner against the Saints and he was on my team.

My NFL fandom in no way interferes with my fantasy team. Sometimes I favor the Auburn players a little more than I should though.

Crap on that.

Whoever can help me win can start on my squad. I've had Steve Smith go off on the Saints before plenty of times. shite happens.

would still cuss up a storm just the same when he'd get a big play against them too.
