Super Bowl XLIX really has no favorite, which means we’re in store for a good one. The Patriots enter the big contest with just one meaningful loss since their disastrous late September Monday night game against the Chiefs, while the Seahawks are 12-1 over their last 13 games, counting the playoffs.

Game 2 of the World Series hinged on the decisions of both managers in the middle innings. Ned Yost and Bruce Bochy had decisions to make in the fateful sixth inning of last night’s series-evening 7-2 win by the Kansas City Royals over the San Francisco Giants. They had to decide at which point to remove their starting pitcher and go to the bullpen. Read More
The Kansas City Royals are one game away from the World Series. Let that marinate in your brain for a second. The Royals, who have won all seven of their playoff games so far this postseason, are one win away from sweeping the favored Baltimore Orioles in the American League Championship Series, after winning Game 3 last night 2-1.

You could call Week 2 a fantasy football apocalypse, I suppose. Your team with Jamaal Charles and A.J. Green most likely flopped (one of mine definitely did), while your benching of an injured Brandon Marshall for a potential-breakout in Justin Hunter made you look like – or at least feel like – an amateur.

The NFL season is back. Like your favorite TV show, the time off between seasons has felt like an eternity. But before you settle in for the game tonight, make sure you catch up on five stats you need to know about this upcoming season. We’ll be bringing you five more every Thursday before all the games get started. Read More
There are four commonly used “onesie” positions in fantasy football, or positions where only one player is started every week. Those positions include quarterback, tight end, kicker, and defense. And because of the differences for each position, strategies on how to approach them vary wildly depending on who you ask. Read More
As far as enviable landing spots for running backs go, standing next to Peyton Manning has to be near the top of the list. Just ask Joseph Addai, Knowshon Moreno, and Edgerrin James. Being Manning’s right-hand man not only produces real-life football results, but more often than not, it produces massive fantasy football results as well. Read More
It wasn’t long ago when Wes Welker felt like a guaranteed lock for at least 100 receptions each season to go along with a healthy dosage of yardage. After all, in his six seasons with the New England Patriots between 2007 and 2012, he failed to haul in 100 passes and 1,000 yards just once (in 2010). Read More
Human beings love new, shiny things – cars, televisions, smart phones…the list goes on and on. When new items hit the market, people instantly become enamored. Wanting the newest thing has become embedded into our very nature. Read More

If you checked out the recap of numberFire’s 14-team fantasy draft earlier this month, you may have noted the ridiculous lengths the staff went to in avoiding the selection of a quarterback. Unlike the participants in most fantasy drafts, the folks here at numberFire tend to follow a late-round quarterback strategy. Read More
We’ve heard the spiel before: daily fantasy sports allow you to create a new lineup every day (or week), providing freedom from your season-long fantasy commitments. And unlike your fake baseball, basketball or football teams, you can win money every single day. Read More

It’s been a miserable season for the Colorado Rockies and their star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. On May 7, they had just beaten the Texas Rangers 9-2 and were 22-14, tied for first place in the NL West. Tulowitzki was off to a blazing start. Read More

I’ll start this article with a cliche. There are no sure things in football. We’ve all heard this before, but it’s painfully true. We could perform analyses on every piece of football data available, and still not know what will actually happen during the season. Read More
