The 2 games Hopkins missed were both the last game of the season when Billy O was sitting starters anyway. I suspect if the games had been needed to get in the playoffs Hopkins would probably have played.
Of course this is just my opinion but durability is worth a lot. The fact is that the fans & the Texans could depend on Hopkins to be on the field when they needed him. And when he was on the field more often than not he delivered. I would much rather pay Hopkins more to be playing than Fuller less to be sitting on the bench.
