Fantasy Football Sleepers: Be sure to get a piece of Lions-Cardinals in Week 5
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- QB Jacoby Brissett faces a vulnerable Detroit secondary, which has allowed 1,216 passing yards and 11 touchdowns in four weeks; despite inconsistency, he benefits from strong teammates Trey McBride and Michael Wilson.
- RB Brian Robinson Jr. is gaining standalone fantasy value with 35 carries and four touchdowns over the last three games, and he faces a below-average Baltimore run defense this week.
- RB Tyler Allgeier is expected to receive double-digit touches and some goal-line opportunities against the Detroit defense, offering credible but limited upside depending on teammate Jeremiyah Love's status.
- WR Dohnte Meyers could see increased targets if Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins miss time, and he has shown promise with nine targets and 82 yards last week against a tough Miami secondary.
- TE Mike Gesicki is a potential sleeper pick due to his recent scoring success, a weakened Bengals receiving corps, and Miami's poor seam coverage, making him an appealing option for daily fantasy sports.
