The Texans' ferocious defense forced one of Allen's worst performances of 2025 and should be just as dangerous this year. He'll also take on a Chargers unit that allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to QBs last season.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Allen faces Texans, Chargers, Patriots in weeks 1-3; expect floor games despite elite talent.

Allen faces a brutal early-season slate with the Texans' ferocious defense forcing one of his worst 2025 performances and expected to be just as dangerous in 2026; the Chargers allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to QBs last season; the Patriots' defense didn't hit its stride until the stretch run and could be even tougher this time around. Despite being a top-three fantasy producer on a per-game basis for six straight years with new weapons D.J. Moore and Skyler Bell, managers should adjust expectations for September and brace for at least a couple floor games in the opening month.
