Fantasy Football: 3 players set to enter the Circle of Trust in Week 5 — and 3 who could fall out

Three players stand to enter the Circle of Trust in Week 5 of fantasy football, while three others could fall out of contention. Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars' quarterback, has shown promise in Week 4, displaying strong accuracy, yardage, and touchdown numbers. However, his dropbacks per game remain below average, and his rushing rate has decreased as he faces fewer pressures. Philadelphia's defense, while not elite, presents an opportunity for Lawrence to capitalize on Week 5 matchups.

Aaron Jones, the Vikings' running back, has been a consistent workhorse in Week 4, accounting for 81% of the team's rushing attempts. His high route rate and target share highlight his importance to the offense. With Kyler Murray struggling at times, Jones is likely to see increased opportunities in Week 5. The Vikings head into their bye with a favorable matchup against a defense that allows points to running backs.

Isaiah Likely, the Giants' tight end, has been a solid second option behind Jameis Winston. His high route rate and target share, coupled with the fact that other wide receivers are hurt, make him a strong contender for a return to the TE1 status in Week 5. The Giants face a defense that allows points to tight ends, providing Ideal conditions for Likely's improvement in fantasy rankings.
