Fantasy Analysis: The Cincinnati Bengals defense was a top-performing unit in 2011, and it started up front. Dunlap is part of an effective 4-3 unit that can pressure and force quarterbacks to make mistakes. In league’s with individual defensive players, Dunlap is worth a spot as he is a threat to get sacks. The defense as a whole should be performing better, so monitor their status and don’t hesitate to start them if you like how their stats are trending.
