From the article

The Vikings have shut down opposing TEs all season, allowing the fewest half PPR points per game to the position at 5.4 (32nd). Opponents facing Minnesota have leaned heavily away from the pass, posting an extreme 47% neutral pass rate (3rd-lowest), and when teams do pass, they often times keep their TEs in to block. They're also very smart at LB and S, making it harder to find coverage busts.
