BEST OF THE BEST

When the Houston Texans traded for Stefon Diggs, the deal was viewed nationally as mostly positive from the Texans perspective. Emmanuel Acho is one of the view analysts that didn't like the trade for the Texans. He thinks that Diggs' skills are “diminishing” and that's why Buffalo agreed to trade him.
CBS Sports' Garrett Podell however, is singing a completely different tune. He believes the addition of Diggs gives the Texans the best WR trio in the NFL.
He even uses a post from Trevon Diggs, Stefon's brother, to back up his claim:
Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs said it best when news broke that his older brother Stefon, a four-time Pro Bowl selection and 2020 first-team All-Pro, was being traded to the Houston: The Texans have three players who could be the top receiver on their own teams.
3 #1’s is crazy 😒..

Which got us thinking, is he right? Podell's list on CBS Sports has the Texans at No.1, followed by the Dolphins, Bengals, 49ers, and Eagles, respectively.
Be sure to check out the video above as ESPN Houston's Joe George and Paul Gallant debate the rankings and explain how Tank Dell is the player that cements the Texans at No. 1.
Hunter Brown pitched two-hit ball into the sixth inning, and the Houston Astros beat the slumping Cincinnati Reds 3-0 on Friday night.
Brown (6-1) struck out nine, matching his season high for the fourth straight start. The right-hander also issued a season-high four walks in his fifth consecutive win.
Brown departed after Gavin Lux walked with two out in the sixth. Kaleb Ort got Spencer Steer to bounce into a forceout at second.
Josh Hader handled the ninth for his ninth save.
Cincinnati finished with four hits in its sixth loss in seven games.
Reds right-hander Nick Martinez (1-4) surrendered 10 hits and three runs in six innings. He struck out five and walked none.
Zach Dezenzo hit a two-out RBI single in the second, and the Astros added two more runs in the fifth.
Mauricio Dubón followed Brendan Rodgers’ leadoff double with a chopper past third baseman Santiago Espinal, moving Rodgers to third. Jeremy Peña drove in Rodgers with a groundout to second, and Isaac Paredes doubled home Dubón with two down.
Jose Altuve, Christian Walker, and Yainer Diaz each had two hits for the Astros.
Cincinnati's Austin Hays returned from the injured list after missing 10 games with a left hamstring strain. He went 1 for 4.
Reds outfielder Jake Fraley was scratched due to left calf tenderness after missing the last two games.
Key moment
Tyler Stephenson hit a one-out double for Cincinnati in the ninth. But Hader struck out Rece Hinds and Espinal, ending the game.
