Post Body

Hello, hello! It's me, your very own guide to fantasy success. Allow me to show you the cards and what the universe thinks of your squad. Let's get to this week's readings!

This post only contains the top-10 at QB, RB, and WR. For more readings please check out the full spreadsheet here.

Notes:

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 3 TNF and links to Week 2 here.

Quarterbacks:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Patrick Mahomes	The Lovers	Partnerships, union, duality, choice	Mahomes deserves his high ranking this week. He's in a great headspace and is one with his team. Look for a comprehensive performance.
Tom Brady	VIII of Swords - Reversed	Self-accptance, new perspective, freedom	Brady has been solid, but he's going into this game with freedom of play. Gordon is going to make an impact on Brady, even if not the main beneficiary. Great play.
Aaron Rodgers	III of Pentacles	Teamwork, collaboration, building	Teamwork. The Packers are coming together this week and Rodgers is the glue. If he plays he'll be elevating all those around him as per usual.
Drew Brees	Page of Wands	Exploration, excitement, freedom	The Saints have Ingram coming back soon and they're excited! Brees is going to be playing freely and having fun. Great game.
Cam Newton	V of Pentacles - Reversed	Recovery, Isolation	Newton should continue his work from last week, this week against the Bengals. Rushing TD incoming.
Kirk Cousins	X of Wands	Accomplishment, responsibility, burden	Cousins isn't going to have a gigantic game this week. He's overvalued at the 7 spot on Fantasypros.
Deshaun Watson	X of Cups - Reversed	Shattered dreams, broken family, bad relationships	Stay away. "The joy that you should be getting when you reunite and connect with family and the community around you is not happening right now."
Matty Stafford	The Hanged Man - Reversed	Stalling, needless sacrifice, fear of sacrifice	Stafford is over his loss and is ready to throw the ball. He's going to be playing from behind and throwing the ball better than week 1.
Jimmy G	Knight of Wands	Action, adventure, fearlessness	Jimmy G is rushing things a bit and not playing within his own game. Good matchup, unbalanced performance.
Matt Ryan	The Emperor	Authority, structure, control, fatherhood	Matt Ryan gets reigned in a bit on mistakes this week. High scoring game and he's going to be more locked in than one might think.

Running Backs:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Todd Gurley	The High Priestess	Intuition, unconscious, inner voice	Gurly is flourishing. He's becoming fully realized and simply running on intuition.
Alvin Kamara	Justice	Cause and effect, clarity, truth	Kamara will find the end zone this week. He paid his dues last week and should put up much better numbers than week 2.
Ezekiel Elliot	X of Pentacles	Legacy, inheritance, culmination	Elliott has yet to truly pay off this season, but this might be his week. He should show more than week 1 or 2 this week.
Melvin Gordon	VIII of Pentacles - Reversed	No focus, no ambition, no motivation	The Chargers as a whole sound off this week, I think the Rams defense is going to get to them. You probably have to start Gordon, but don't expect an amazing performance.
Saquon Barkley	Temperance - Reversed	Extremes, excess, lack of balance	Boom bust performance here. He's hard to predict, quite a few runs, only a couple will pay off. either long runs or just a few short for TDs. I think he's a good gamble, but he IS a gamble.
Kareem Hunt	Queen of Swords - Reversed	Extremes, excess, lack of balance	We need to see a cold hearted game from Hunt. This sounds like a good week for that to happen.
Christian McCaffrey	II of Pentacles - Reversed	Loss of balance, disorganized, overwhelmed	Bad news for CMC. Balance issues aren't good, physical or mental. Sounds like Cam will be vulturing the rushing TDs this week.
Tevin Coleman	VIII of Swords - Reversed	Self-acceptance, new perspective, freedom	Good week coming for Coleman. He's comfortable as the starter and should perform in a high scoring game. He might hit his season high FPs.
Jordan Howard	VI of Pentacles	Charity, generosity, sharing	Those pentacles are the points that Howard will be handing those starting him. He's gotta have a touchdown this week.
David Johnson	VII of Cups	Choices, fantasy, illusion	This card seems to sum up DJ this season. Amaziing, but his team is just so bad. Don't expect a fantastic performance, but hope is there for the future.

Wide Receivers:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Michael Thomas	III of Cups - Reversed	Herd mentality, conformity, solitude	Usually this would be a card for reflection on relationships, here it means Thomas is a fantastic play. He's part of The Saints' core and is solitary in his impact. Plus, six boobs!
Antonio Brown	V of Cups	Loss, Grief, disappointment	Oof, maybe that trade threat is having some consequences. Be ready for a bad game even if he doesn't look bad or out of sorts as a player. He's really missing Bell :*(.
Julio Jones	Knight of Swords	Action, speed, ambition	Julio is going to have a fantastic game. Big bounce back from last week as he overwhelms the defense.
DeAndre Hopkins	The Empress	Motherhood, fertility, nature	Mother DeAndre gives birth to points. He's going to provide.
Odell Beckham Jr.	II of Pentacles	Balance, priorities, adapting to change	OBJ is ready to play, short or long game. The questions are all on the o line and Eli. Beckham will get points, but how many is unpredictable. I see a mediocre performance coming.
Tyreek Hill	The High Priestess - Reversed	Lack of center, lost inner voice, repressed feelings	Hill is elite, we all know it, but he's missing something. He's going to be catching but I thin some of his usual creativity and explosiveness will be lost.
A.J. Green	V of Cups	Loss, Grief, disappointment	Green's going to be under pressure this match. He has a chance to put up a game, as this card suggests, but he's not the safe play he seems. Danger lurks!
Stefon Diggs	Ace of Swords - Reversed	Confusion, brutality, chaos	Huge potential this week, but also a high risk of mistakes. Diggs is going to going to put up points, but might cost his team some plays/points.
JuJu Smith-Schuster	IV of Swords	Rest, restoration, contemplation.	Juju needs rest? Owners should be happy, he's rested and ready to go. Start him with full confidence.
Adam Thielen	The High Priestess - Reversed	Lack of center, lost inner voice, repressed feelings	Thielen has been solid, but he's off balance this week. It might just be the playbook/blowing out the Bills, but still.
Davante Adams	The Chariot	Direction, control, willpower	Adams is locked-in this week. Don't worry about Josh Norman, Davante is ready to deal with whatever happens with Rodgers.
