According to Bill Barnwell, the Bengals were in the bottom 5 in terms of total rookie snaps (offense and defense) in 2016.
3 teams in the top 10 made the playoffs, but so did 4 of the bottom 10.
The factors that go into why, when and how much rookies play for each team are so completely different based on individual situations and needs (injuries, lack of talent, poor depth, etc)...that I'm not sure if these kinds of stats actually tell anything useful.
