Beckham fell 36 spots from No. 23 on last year's list to No. 59 this year, but it was not the most drastic fall for an offensive playmaker. Kamara's fall from No. 14 to No. 42 even though he made his third straight Pro Bowl wasn't the biggest one either.

Gurley was No. 5 on last year's list after winning the 2017 Offensive Player of the Year award and helping lead the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl in the 2018 campaign, but there were some concerns entering the 2019 season.

After all, he had just four carries in the NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints and 10 carries in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.

Durability wasn't as much of an issue in 2019 when he played 15 games, but he tallied a career-worst 857 rushing yards on a lackluster 3.8 yards per carry. A drop, especially given where he was on this list a year ago, was to be expected, but he will have an opportunity to bounce back in a new uniform on the Atlanta Falcons in 2020.

As for Beckham, his fall comes after the Browns were arguably the most disappointing team in the league in 2019.

Expectations were high with Baker Mayfield directing an offense with Beckham, Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb and others, but they finished the year with a 6-10 record as the quarterback threw 22 touchdowns to 21 interceptions.

Beckham still surpassed 1,000 receiving yards with 1,035, but he posted a mere four touchdown catches and was unable to lift the Browns to their first playoff appearance since 2002.

The result was a drop in these rankings even if there is renewed hope in Cleveland after the team added two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper to the offense.

It wasn't just household names on the offensive side who dropped, as Watt fell from No. 12 to No. 45. The Houston Texans pass-rusher can at least point to injuries for his fall, as he played eight games in 2019 after playing a combined eight games in 2016 and 2017.

There was at least one notable jump, with Prescott checking in at No. 46 after he was not included in last year's list. It's no surprise to see the Dallas Cowboys' signal-caller in the top 50 after he was second in the league with 4,902 passing yards in 2019.

Maybe he can use this list when negotiating his next contract.
