Why It Matters: Even though he'll uncork a dud here or there during the season, Allen is the preeminent fantasy quarterback because of nights like this. As mentioned on the broadcast, this was the 10th time in Allen's career that he had multiple passing and rushing touchdowns in the same game. That's the most in NFL history with legendary 49ers QB Steve Young second with four. Allen is as close to a matchup-proof option as there is at the position and clearly sits atop the heap as fantasy's overall QB1.
