I'm a bit critical of this methodology, but I guess it is one. Tee was healthy enough to have nearly three straight 100 yard games, Logan played every game and played very well. I guess Burrow is also included in this methodology, even though he didn't miss a game and played well throughout the playoffs. Most of Cincinnati's missed timed in the playoffs were from back-end or rotational guys. Guys like Tate, Fry, Bachie, ADG, Phillips.
I would classify the Bengals as very fortunate with health last season but some people don't agree with that. I'm personally hoping that Cincinnati can replicate that fortune this season.
