1. DeAndre Hopkins

The performance of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins saved the Houston Texans in overtime with his athletic abilities on his 49-yard reception that put the Texans in field goal position to win the game.

Hopkins led the Texans with nine receptions for 151 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. Though Hopkins did fumble, he more than made up for the turnover by playing like one of the best wide receivers in all of the NFL, which he is, and has proven that fact many times throughout his career.

Two other times this season Watson has caught for over 100 yards as he had 110 yards receiving against for six receptions in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, and for 169 yards on 10 receptions against the Indianapolis Colts.

Hopkins was a game changer for the Texans on Sunday night and continued to be the top wide receiver on the roster. He makes every one on the offense better each and every week, plus Hopkins is just such an exciting player to watch as he continues to collect 100-yard receiving games.

Each week it will be tougher and tougher for Hopkins to top what he does the previous week, but somehow Hopkins leaves everyone in awe by just what he does for the Texans’ offense.

Next. Texans: Robert Jackson added to the practice squad. dark

What will Hopkins do this upcoming week against the Buffalo Bills, a team that is allowing 234.6 passing yards per game. It should be exciting to say the least in Week 6.
