Fantasy football analysts identify several deep-sleeper candidates for Week 5, including Dohnte Meyers and Isaiah Williams. Meyers stands to gain significant targets as the Bengals deal with injuries to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, both uncertain for the upcoming matchup. Isaiah Williams, benefiting from increased route participation, could exploit the Browns' weak defense against wide receivers. Additionally, Jacoby Brissett is highlighted as a potential breakout quarterback against the Lions, who have struggled defensively. Analysts suggest Mike Washington Jr. and Keaton Mitchell as running back options depending on other players' statuses.
