The cards are washed, shuffled, and ready to tell you their secrets r/fantasyfootball! Come with me on a journey through the universe to locate those sweet, sweet fantasy points.

Also, B I G news! Accuracy ratings are starting to get added to past weeks by tometoyou1983 (thanks so much!!!):

Week 3 TNF

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.

Let's get to the readings!

The Bucs:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Ryan Fitzpatrick	VIII of Swords	Imprisonment, powerlessness, self-victimization	Fitz is trapped. Just as we all thought he was flying free it sounds like he's going to be locked down this week. Don't expect to see him come out swinging my McGregor.
Peyton Barber	The Emperor	Authority, structure, control, fatherhood	Might be the week we finally see some real production out of Barber. He knows times have been tough and is unshaken. The Bucs are going to use him in specific ways this match, look for signs of future success.
DJAX	Ace of Wands - Reversed	Lack of energy, lack of passion, boredom	Jackson is known for his speed and energy, but it sounds like it won't be there this week. The grind has taken its toll and he needs some rest.
M. Evans	IV of Pentacles	Conservation, security, frugality	Hard read on this draw. One one hand Evans holds a lot of points, but combined with Fitz's draw it sounds like either yardage or targets will be limited.
C. Godwin	The Emperor	Authority, structure, control, fatherhood	Stability. Not something you think of with a player like Godwin, but he looks to be a solid flex this week. He's disciplined and ready to keep his 10 point floor going.
O. Howard	The Tower	Sudden Upheaval, pride, disaster	Change is coming. Tampa's TEs are hard to predict, but we should have more clarity after this week. Either Howard will continue decent production or we'll finally see Brate coming into the mix (hopefully not via injury).
D/ST	VI of Pentacles	Charity, generosity, sharing	Usually I read this card as bringing points. However, this week I think it points to the D giving up points. Charitable to the Steelers, not to owners.

Steelers:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Big Ole Ben	IV of Pentacles	Conservation, security, frugality	Roethlisberger will be playing more conservatively than normal this game. This might say more about AB's points than Ben's.
Conner	VI of Cups	Nostalgia, happy memories, reunion	Bunnies and flowers are good for running backs and happy memories are good for those starting Conner. He'll keep up his solid season.
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 :*(.
Juju	King of Wands	Big picture, leader, overcoming challenges	Juju is the receiver to pick this week, he's holding fire in his hands and ready to create.
J. Washington	The Chariot	Direction, control, willpower	Washington has a chance to shine tonight. If he can hold things together and overcome some chaos, he'll be getting some nice points. Solid, cheap DFS option, but hard to predict exactly how he'll do.
J. James	The Hermit - Reversed	Loneliness, isolation, lost your way	Don't bank on James this week. Last week was amazing, but this week something is off and he's returning to earth.
V. McDonald	Queen of Wands - Reversed	Selfishness, jealousy, demanding	Nope, both TEs sound like bad options here. One read could be him demanding the ball and being selfish with it, but a negative headspace is hard to overcome and can't be relied on.
D/ST	VII of Wands	Perseverance, defensive, maintaining control	Great news for those of you playing the Steelers D. They're going to be hit hard and often, but PIT is a shining shield ready to put in work.
