Georgia will host Notre Dame LB commit Thomas Davis Jr. on an official visit this weekend
The 6-foot, 2-inch and 205-pound prospect made his verbal commitment to the Irish in November of last year, but has been flirting with the Bulldogs recently. Davis was offered by them earlier this month, and it was enough for him to schedule an official visit to Athens this weekend according to a report from On3.

The nation's No. 189 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings should now be put on a flip watch, as the only other official he had scheduled was to visit South Bend in two weeks.
Hopefully that isn't the case, as Davis is just making sure that he has made the right decision with his commitment to Notre Dame. This situation is one to monitor going forward, as the only other linebacker commit that the Irish have in the 2026 class is Jakobe Clapper.

Colts' brass, on the hot seat, couldn't trust their future with Anthony Richardson
The best move for the future of the Indianapolis Colts, in terms of chasing a Super Bowl, was to continue to start Anthony Richardson and develop him into what they were hoping for when they drafted him fourth overall. But the decision makers might not be around for the future if they don't win now. And they acted accordingly. It's a conundrum plenty of NFL teams face. What's best for the franchise and self preservation don't always match up. The Colts, with GM Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen having to feel some pressure to win this season, played it safe and chose Daniel Jones to be their starting quarterback for the opener on Sept. 7. It's swinging for a single, or a double at best. The Colts made a huge gamble on Richardson, and it could still pay off down the road. It's not like Jones is a lock to keep the job all season. But the Colts couldn't afford to see their gamble through, given Richardson's struggles. Colts couldn't wait on Anthony Richardson One play might have helped guide the Colts' decision. There were plenty of reasons to bring in Jones to compete with Richardson. Richardson was benched last season as he completed 47.7% of his passes. He has been injured throughout his two NFL seasons having missed more games (19) than he has started (15). But if it was truly a competition going into August, one mistake had to reinforce to the Colts that there was a long way for Richardson to go. In the preseason opener, Richardson took a huge sack and dislocated his right pinkie finger. The problem wasn't the lost yardage or even the injury. As almost every former quarterback and tape guru with a social media account pointed out, it was a fairly routine read for Richardson to throw to one of the open receivers to his right when the Ravens sent an extra rusher from that side. Richardson never even looked that way. It's the type of mistake that gets made by a quarterback with 28 combined starts between the NFL and college. Richardson isn't an accurate passer, but his biggest problem remains inexperience. He had just 13 career starts in college. He had immense physical talent but needed time to learn how to play quarterback. And learning that in the highly pressurized world of the NFL is hard. And too often, coaching staffs and front offices don't have enough time to be patient with that development. That's a reason we have seen players like Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and Geno Smith thrive elsewhere. Teams can't wait on them to figure it out. Steichen and Ballard had to feel like they were running out of time. Daniel Jones gets his shot Jones probably gives the Colts a better chance to win a few more games now, though we have seen plenty of Jones in the NFL. It's hard to envision him ever being a championship-level quarterback. A division title is likely the Colts' loftiest realistic goal with Jones at quarterback. But he will run the offense in a more efficient way. We could see in the preseason that he knows where to go with the ball and can deliver it more often than not. Perhaps Jones is the next Darnold/Mayfield/Smith reclamation, though it seems unlikely. He was just the safer option for the present. And perhaps Richardson gets another shot this season to show what he can do. He'll need an injury or Jones to struggle, but that can happen over the course of a long season. Or perhaps Richardson's chance comes with another team. He was clearly overdrafted at fourth overall, but plenty of teams saw the same incredible physical skills as he came out of Florida. He still has a high ceiling, and that's probably why he'd be starting Week 1 in a different scenario. It just wasn't in the best immediate interest of those making the decision for Indianapolis. It might be a while before we see another draft pick like Richardson again. His lack of experience was a red flag, but the Colts ignored it. He probably would have been better off as a middle-round pick that could develop with little pressure, closer to the Joe Milton III territory of the draft. The Colts could only see the upside when they made the pick. And now, ironically, they have to forget the upside after just 15 starts to try and win now with Jones, even if their ceiling is much lower now.

Who is the best fantasy football RB 2025? Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs lead top tier
Who is the best fantasy football RB 2025? Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs lead top tier originally appeared on The Sporting News Running back, even with the surge of PPR leagues, remains the most important position in fantasy football. The RB drop-off happens quickly. Grabbing not just a top guy, but the top overall RB is always a huge advantage. This season, four names truly qualify for being in this discussion: two young stars and two vets who have been the RB1 before. Keep reading as we decide which running back to take first at his position in 2025 fantasy football drafts. Who's the best fantasy RB in 2025? Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons The Falcons finally figured out how to use Robinson properly last season. It took long enough. After the first five weeks of the 2024 season, the Atlanta coaching staff must've had an epiphany about how good Robinson really was. Robinson saw his touches grow from 17 in Weeks 1-5, to 23.4 per game from Weeks 6-18. He averaged 120.9 scrimmage yards per game and was the RB1 in fantasy points per game. Robinson saw a higher target share and route share in those weeks as well. There is no reason the Falcons saw that sort of production from Robinson and decided to take volume away. After all, there is close to no competition for that backfield with just Tyler Allgeier, who can be annoying at the goal line for Robinson owners but is more of a handcuff type. After you read about this top RB tier, click to see our . Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions Gibbs absolutely exploded last year for fantasy football. He was the RB2 in fantasy points per game and finished as the overall RB3 in 2024. It's strange the way people talk about the David Montgomery injury as it relates to Gibbs' production. Sure, when Montgomery was injured in the final three weeks of the season, Gibbs went nuclear and averaged 32.6 fantasy points per game. However, even with Montgomery healthy and as the starter from Weeks 1-15, Gibbs already had been averaging 18.8 fantasy points per game (fantasy RB4). This season, Gibbs is the starter and is expected to take control of this offense. Montgomery will still be there and taking touches, but we've already established Gibbs has no problem producing alongside Montgomery. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers Let's just start with the obvious: If McCaffrey is healthy all season, he'll be the RB3 or better in fantasy football. But it's a big if, and managers are rightfully terrified of drafting an injury-riddled, 29-year-old RB. To be fair, his upside speaks for itself: In the last five seasons where CMC played at least 16 games, his lowest finish came as the RB10 his rookie year. The other four seasons he finished RB2 in 2018, RB1 in 2019, RB2 in 2022, and RB1 in 2023. At the moment, McCraffrey is one of the only healthy RBs in San Francisco. With the easiest schedule in the league, CMC will feast ... if he's on the field. MORE: Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles Barkley's 2024 season was nothing short of historic. He rushed for 2,005 yards (led the NFL) off 345 carries (led the NFL) with 13 rushing touchdowns, while adding 33-278-2 as a receiver. 'Regression' is an understatement when it comes to Barkley's 2025 outlook. Barkley had the third-most touches (482) of any RB in the 21st century. In the last 20 seasons, players who registered 400-plus touches saw a 30% regression the following year. We've seen player like Derrick Henry or CMC get hurt following seasons with such high usage. This does not mean it will happen to Barkley, but the regression seems inevitable. WARNING: Avoid these The decision: Who is the best fantasy RB in 2025? It's Bijan Robinson's season to prove how elite he really is. We all saw the Falcons coaching staff finally begin to use Robinson correctly and his fantasy output was amazing. This season you have a potential dynamic offense with Michael Penix Jr. at QB and this only means more opportunities for Robinson to succeed. If not for Robinson, Gibbs would be the top overall RB in 2025. Robinsons volume should be much better than Gibbs, but Gibbs' big play ability gives him more upside. Protect your back(s)! Use our .

Colts name Daniel Jones starting quarterback over Anthony Richardson
The Indianapolis Colts have named Daniel Jones their starting quarterback. Jones had been in a training-camp competition with Anthony Richardson, the Colts' 2023 No. 4 overall pick who started 11 games last season. Both Jones and Richardson have seen snaps in the Colts' two preseason games, with Jones completing 17-of-32 passes for 245 yards, and Richardson going 8 of 14 for 94 yards. The Colts signed Jones to a one-year deal in March after he was benched and then released by the Giants last November. He spent the rest of the 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings but did not see the field. Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Tuesday that his decision to go with Jones isn't just a Week 1 arrangement. "He's the starting quarterback for the season,' Steichen said. "I don't want to have a short leash on that." This breaking news story will be updated.
