Early in the season, you could see the Waynes injury as why the Bengals would not go far this year, but the coaches didn't give up on Apple and now he has actually graded higher than Chido in a few games.
That being said, while Apple is a better option than Waynes, I don't care what PFF says, Chido has been the best player on defense not named Hendrickson and was an absolute steal of a signing. If you look back at the games he has had against some of the better WRs around, he has been damn impressive. He's also a force as a run stuffer.
Yes, and both Chido and Hilton are killing it this year.
