NFL Preseason Week 2: Biggest Headlines, Key Injuries & Hype Check Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

James Cook gets PAID 💰 — but what does his 4-year, $48M extension mean for his dynasty and redraft fantasy football value? We break it down, compare him to other RBs in his tier, and hit a massive “Would You Rather” segment at both RB and QB.

We’ve also got injury updates on Najee Harris, Matthew Stafford, Malik Nabers, and Jordan Love — plus what it all means for Puka Nacua, Omariyan Hampton, and the Giants’ offense heading into 2025. Finally, we debate if Garrett Wilson is one of the most overvalued dynasty WRs right now and look at potential pivots like DK Metcalf.
