DeAndre Hopkins finds his mother in the crowd
DeAndre Hopkins may not have led the Texans in receiving yards but he made some huge plays to get the Texans into position to win the game.
Hopkins would show off his hands and heavy ankles early as he extended out of bounds to snag a Deshaun Watson pass.

The Texans would go on to kick a field goal later in the drive.
Hopkins would find his own points later.

The Texans best pass catcher was aided by the return of his partner in crime Will Fuller. The deep threat of the speedy Fuller helped a ton in opening things up for Hopkins and forcing the occasional single coverage on Hopkins. Fuller would finish the day with 7 catches for 140 yards.

Hopkins again showed why he is one of the best in the NFL decimating the Colts secondary. Will Fuller's return helped a ton but Hopkins made the big key plays in a fantastic win over an AFC South foe.

According to multiple reports, Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker has been traded to the Cubs. It appears that the Juan Soto contract added to growing concern that the club would not be able to reach agreement with Tucker long-term.
In return for Tucker, the Astros receiver infielder Isaac Parades, pitcher Hayden Wesneski, and 3rd base prospect Cam Smith.

Parades can play both 3rd and 1st base, but his best position is 3rd, per Chandler Rome. Parades is 25 years old and hit .238 last season with 19 home runs and was an All-Star. His best season was in 2023, he blasted 31 dingers and had an OPS of .840.
He will be a free agent in 2028 and is a perfect fit for the Crawford Boxes, as he's a pull hitter.
Only two players in MLB had a higher pull rate than Isaac Paredes in 2024: Jose Altuve and Rhys Hoskins. His swing is made for the Crawford Boxes.

Chandler Rome recently reported that Wesneski is a pitcher that "very much intrigued the Astros." He pitched out of the bullpen and started seven games for the Cubs last year, posting a 3.86 ERA over 67.2 innings. He also spent some time pitching for Triple A in 2024. Wesneski went to Cy-Fair high school in Houston, and is under team control for the next several years.
Smith is a 3rd base prospect that was drafted 14th overall out of Florida State in the 2024 draft. He hit .313 overall in three different levels of the minors last season.
That Cubs' MLB Pipeline #7 prospect immediately becomes Astros #1 sums up sorry state of the Astros' system (Cubs' system is good at least).
Paredes is legit 3B (offensively as good as Breg over last 2 years) and will make maybe 3 mil in '25.
Good day for Mariners/Rangers fans.
