Fantasy football sleepers for Week 5 include Marvin Harrison Jr. and Mike Gesicki
Summary

As Week 5 approaches, fantasy managers are considering several players for their lineups, with notable mentions including Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals and Mike Gesicki of the Cincinnati Bengals. Harrison could excel against the Detroit Lions, who rank poorly in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Gesicki's value increases due to potential absences of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins for the Bengals. Additionally, Jacoby Brissett is highlighted as a streaming option at quarterback, facing a struggling Lions defense. Brian Robinson Jr. is also recommended, contributing significantly as a backup running back for the Atlanta Falcons.
