Hubbard is solid, but he's not a "good" pass rusher.
He's a good run stopper though (or at least had been in years prior).

BJ Hill is solid, but not "good" pass rusher either.

Ossai might be the second-best pass rusher on the team, and he's been out. Cam Sample was also out last game.
So your DE3 and DE4 both out against the Ravens.

Hendrickson and Hubbard get paid well as DEs, so they are the ones expected to put up the best stats.
Reader is also getting paid a lot, but he's not a sack guy. Never has been. He's gonna command double teams, which should allow these other guys more opportunity to close the deal.
Bengals haven't gotten enough out of recent drafted DL yet.

The Bengals are missing that one true elite playmaker on the DL. 

Reader is elite, but not in a game wrecking play making kind of way...if you know what I mean. I think of Parsons, Watt, Crosby, Donald, Jones as elite game wrecker type of players.
