The Athletic's Ben Standig is back for a bonus episode of the podcast entering Week 1 of the NFL season. The main focus: He ranks the Washington Football Team's most indispensable players, which is different from best. Ryan Fitzpatrick the clear number one? Kam Curl over Terry McLaurin and Brandon Scherff? Did all four DL starters make the cut? Ben also sets the table for the week ahead and recaps Peyton Barber moving on. Then he welcomes NBA insider J. Michael to the podcast for some Wizards talk. The fellas offer praise for GM Tommy Sheppard, question the Wizards' upside in the East, and assess the new players including Aaron Holiday and Spencer Dinwiddie.
