I haven't heard the term 'fringe guy' before but a person on the fringe is someone who is either not well known or part of the outer circle rather than being the centre of attention.
For example, a person who is on plays floral but is just not good enough to be part of the first team could be said to be, 'on the fringes of being in the first team'.
So going back to your term, a guy on the fringe/fringes means a man who is on the outer circle of whatever you are talking about and that they are not deemed to be very important.
I hope this helps! 👍🏼

I haven't heard that term used in a while, but usually it's not a good thing, and it refers to people who are not that normal. "Fringe" usually refers to the edge of something, so a person "on the fringe" refers to someone who lives "on the edge of normalcy." It's a very decorative way of calling someone weird, or a 変な人.
