From the article

Allen's 28.2 fantasy points per game is currently ahead of the all-time fantasy record at QB (Lamar Jackson, 2024). The Vikings have been by far the best fantasy QB defense, however, allowing just 10.4 fantasy points per game. Allen will be blitzed at a career-high rate, most likely.

Allen's elite season faces Minnesota's best-in-league QB defense and career-high blitz rate.

Allen's 28.2 fantasy points per game currently exceeds the all-time fantasy QB record (Lamar Jackson, 2024), but he faces Minnesota's elite QB defense allowing just 10.4 fantasy points per game (best in NFL). Allen will be blitzed at a career-high rate; he's QB5 in EPA per dropback against the blitz (+0.07) versus QB1 on non-blitzes (+0.21). His scramble rate drops from 9% when not blitzed to 3.4% when blitzed. Buffalo enters as 3.5-point road favorites with a 25.0-point implied team total (11th), and it would make sense for Allen's fantasy output to take a hit.
