Cincinnati Bengals rotate 8 on D-line

The Bengals effectively rotated 8 defensive linemen in Sunday's win over Cleveland. DEs Michael Johnson and Robert Geathers started alongside DTs Domata Peko and Geno Atkins. DE Carlos Dunlap, DE Frostee Rucker, DL Jonathan Fanene and DT Pat Sims also saw significant time. The line was key in limiting Peyton Hillis to just 57 yards, and the rotation will help keep pass rushers fresh throughout the year. Johnson is the most intriguing among the starters, though Atkins carries significant sack upside in DT-required IDP leagues. Dunlap, of course, brings the highest fantasy ceiling of all involved. Fanene has been an occasional IDP contributor and is helped by his inside-outside versatility.
