Andre did have Schaub over those peak seasons. And I agree it is difficult to determine the best while still in the heart of Hop's career, but he is benefitting now with Watson taking snaps.
But first, to the extent stats matter:
Johnson - 14 years (12 in Houston), 1062 rec, 14,185 yds, 13.4 ypc, 70 TD, 2 1st Team All Pro
Hopkins - 6 years, 528 rec, 7,437 yds, 14.1 ypc, 47 TD, 2 1st Team All Pro
Peak season?
In 2008, Johnson had 115-1575-8.
In 2018, Hopkins had 115-1572-11.
Both special players. Johnson went beast mode at times. Hopkins has the hands and toe drag swag. Whichever player you chose today probably says more about the type of receiver you'd want on your roster more than it says which is really the better player.
