Week 1: 0%
Week 2: 0%
Week 3: 30%, and McCaffrey ran wild all over the Bengals D
Week 4: 17%

The week he played the most, the Bengals D was the most atrocious. So I am going to decline to call him an under-the-radar contributor.

On a related note. How does Tupou and others get more snaps? Less snaps for Atkins and Dunlap, who are at 71.4% and 74.3% on the year. Think about that. Nearly 30% of the time, the Bengals are taking their best DL off the field for second and third stringers. (Tupou was a third stringer.)
-Myles Garrett is playing 96.1%
-Cameron Jordan is playing 93.0%
-JJ Watt is playing 90.6%
-Aaron Donald is playing 87.8%

Meanwhile Dunlap is playing 74.3% and Atkins is playing 71.4% in order to give Glasgow/Billings/Tupou/M Johnnson more snaps. That's MADNESS.

Yes, but 70% of how many snaps?  Our defense sure seems to be  playing an inordinate number of snaps.  

If your run defense is bad, it often means your NT ain't getting it done.
