Quarterbacks typically stand out on lists like this, and Andrew Luck kicked off Tuesday's reveal.

While the Indianapolis Colts' signal-caller is generally considered one of the league's best quarterbacks, he wasn't even on this list heading into the 2018 campaign. He missed the 2017 season with injury and was a question mark after making the Pro Bowl in each of his first three years in the league in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

All he did to bounce back was win Comeback Player of the Year and reach his fourth career Pro Bowl with 4,593 passing yards, 39 touchdown throws and 15 interceptions while leading the Colts to the playoffs after they were an ugly 4-12 without him in 2017.

Luck wasn't the only quarterback to shoot up the rankings, as Philip Rivers went from 56 to 17 by leading the Los Angeles Chargers to a 12-4 record during his eighth Pro Bowl season.

He completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 4,308 yards, 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, and his presence is one reason the Chargers are on the shortlist of realistic Super Bowl contenders in 2019.

Tuesday's reveal wasn't all quarterbacks, but it was dominated by offensive playmakers.

Running backs Ezekiel Elliott (18), Barkley (16) and Alvin Kamara all made the list and are surely on the radar of fantasy football players with the season approaching. Barkley's presence is a testament to how quickly he adjusted to the NFL game, as he won the Offensive Rookie of the Year with 1,307 rushing yards, 721 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns.

That was good enough to come in two spots ahead of Elliott, who led the league with 1,434 rushing yards, but he was still two spots behind Kamara.

It was only fitting that there were three wide receivers in Tuesday's offensive-heavy list to match the running backs. Tyreek Hill (19), Michael Thomas (13) and Hopkins (11) helped round out the list, which left Bobby Wagner (15) and Watt (12) as the only defensive players.

The defense can at least take solace knowing there is a top 10 to come, but players Nos. 20 through 11 resembled fantasy football—almost all offense.
