It's the best time of the day my friends, time to consult my ninja info cards for hot takes from the stars! Let's do some sweet, sweet Thursday Night NFL Tarot readings!

If you're not up to speed:

I currently use Golden Thread Tarot to save time and better record each read. Some reads in the future might be done with a physical deck.
Each player has a single tarot card drawn to inform the question "How will [player name] perform in Week x of the NFL season?"
Each card cell links to a description in Labyrinthos. They are the same descriptions/card illustrations as those in the Golden Thread app and help explain my comments on the card visuals.
I'm not experienced in Tarot readings prior to this season at all.
You can find week 2 TNF readings here and week 2 Sun/Mon here.

Here we go!

The Jets:

Position	Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB	Sam Darnold	V of Wands - Reversed	Self-doubt, lack of recognition, punishment	Darnold has been getting the public recognition, but he's also been punished a bit with three interceptions. I expect to see some of the same as he's still not playing with full confidence.
RB	Bilol Powell	The Hierophant	Tradition, conformity, morality and ethics	Powell looked good in the receiving game last week while nobody performed well on the ground. I look for him to continue his unpredictable play with some level of success.
RB	Isaiah Crowell	Knight of Swords	Action, speed, ambition	"...he is propelled forward with unbridled ambition." Sounds nice! Though it may also show recklessness. The Crow is primed for a big play.
WR	R. Anderson	IV of Cups	Apathy, contemplation, disconnectedness	I think most expected Anderson to perform better this year, sadly this card doesn't suggest he'll turn things around. The opportunity is there, but Robby still won't be too effective.
WR	Kearse	IX of Swords	Anxiety, hopelessness, nightmares	Nightmare performance incoming? He's not ready to start yet.
WR	Enunwa	IV of Pentacles	Conservation, security, frugality	Stinginess is never a good sign for fantasy performance. Enunwa has been seeing the targets lately. He'll be in line for mostly short passes this week, limited on big plays.
WR	Pryor	Page of Pentacles	Dreams, desire, new opportunity	With Anderson not seeing a ton of work, Pryor is here to capitalize. He's ready to take advantage and comes into this game with good luck.
TE:	Tomlinson	Queen of Wands - Reversed	Selfishness, jealousy, demanding	"represents all of the negative of a determined, bold character." Often bad, but in fantasy can be good. Sadly for a low-usage player I think it points to not having his head in the game.
D/ST	J-E-T-S	Queen of Wands	Courage, determination, joy	Good sign for the Jets D! "in the face of adversity is an inspiration to all around her." Even if the offense has a rough one, Jets D will be putting in work.

The Browns:

Position	Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB	Tyrod Taylor	The Sun	Joy, success, celebration, positivity	The Browns are getting ever closer to a win. It's entirely possible that this is their week with Tyrod playing positively. Far better outlook than Darnold.
RB	Carlos Hyde	III of Wands	Looking ahead, expansion, rapid growth	Hyde has been Mr. Consistent for the Browns and looks to expand his game even more. He's dedicated to being the lead back in Cleveland and should be a good play against the Jets.
RB	Duke Johnson	II of Cups - Reversed	Imbalance, broken communication, tension	Having a lasting and equal partnership is difficult here." You don't need to hear much else, Duke needs to put in more work to see any value. Not a good play this week.
WR	Jarvis Landry	Queen of Swords - Reversed	Cold hearted, cruel, bitterness	If he plays he's playing with ice water in his veins. I think Landry has a great game and looks sharp as the queen's sword.
WR	A. Calllaway	Queen of Cups	Compassion, calm, comfort	Calm and comfortable has not been something the Browns have shown much of in recent memory. Josh Gordon's departure and Callaway's beginning might finally bring some. Solid play.
WR	R. Higgins	VII of Swords - Reversed	Turn a new leaf, desire to reform, desire to change	Higgins is getting a huge shot right now. But, it doesn't sound like he's ready to take advantage. I wouldn't play him this week, Callaway all the way.
TE	Njoku	Page of Wands	Exploration, excitement, freedom	This week is Njoku's week. He's not going to lead the team in FPs or TDs, but this is the start of his journey. Look for him to have a solid game, suggesting better performance as the season continues.
D/ST:	Browntown	II of Pentacles	Balance, priorities, adapting to change	Balanced d/st sounds nice this week. I don't think this suggests an amazing fantasy performance, but a good game performance at least. They'll deal with the Jets, but they're not the sneakiest play around.
