Come with me r/fantasyfootball, on a journey through the cosmos where our end goal is blissful fantasy success. Let's consult the cards for the power they hold! Time for week 4's first set of tarot readings.

Take a moment to check out week 3, now with accuracy ratings from tometoyou1983 (<33):

Week 3 TNF

Week 3 Sunday

Week 3 MNF

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 (this will be added soon). 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.

Now let's go to it!

The Vikings:

Player Position Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Kirkland Cousins	VI of Wands - Reversed	Self-doubt, lack of recognition, punishment	Last week broke Cousins a bit and his confidence is low. He's not coming into this game bouncing back fully.
RB: Cook	Death	End of a cycle, beginnings, change, metamorphosis	Death seems bad, but it can be great. Hopefully we're seeing the beginning of Cook's full season and the end of the injury cycle.
RB: Murray	The Fool - Reversed	Recklessness, being taken advantage of, inconsideration	Murray is in a terrible headspace. His shining moment last week was ruined and if Cook is back, he won't get another right away. Not a great play regardless of Cook's status.
WR: Diggs	IV of Swords - Reversed	Restlessness, burnout, stress	Diggs wants to be fed, last game pissed him off and wore him out. He shouldn't have a terrible game, but he won't be completing huge sprint plays, more catches made with his hands.
WR: Theilen	VIII of Swords	Imprisonment, powerlessness, self-victimization	Locked down by the defense and committing some drops/misrun routes. Oofta.
TE: Rudolph	III of Cups	Friendship, community, happiness	Good week for Rudolph. With the main receivers under coverage, Rudolph has a chance to shine. Plus he gets nudes!
D/ST	The Hierophant - Reversed	Rebellion, subversiveness, new approaches	This is a tough read. Something has to change after the last two terrible weeks. We'll see some signs of life tonight.
K: Bailey	Queen of Cups - Reversed	Coldness, insecurity, dependence	"You have become too reliant on the kindness of this figure." The quote relates to a relationship, I think it's our relationship with Bailey... Not gonna be your savior this week. Though im

The Rams:

Player Position Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Goff	VIII of Cups	Walking away, disillusionment, leaving behind	Unexpected draw here. What is Goff leaving behind? His promising start? Looks like he's moving away from points this week.
RB: Gurley	VIII of Pentacles - Reversed	No Focus, no ambition, no motivation	Oooof. Not what we expect out of Gurley each week. He's not focused and might make some poor plays/mistakes. Fumble incoming?
WR: Woods	VIII of Wands - Reversed	Obstacles, waiting, slowing down	Woods won't have his normal speed and explosiveness this week. He's going to be well covered.
WR: Cooks	The World	Fulfillment, harmony, completion	"absolute unity, perfection, accomplishment". Well, Cooks is the WR of the night.
WR: Kupp	Queen of Cups - Reversed	Coldness, insecurity, dependence	I don't think Goff and Kupp are on the same page this week. Usually they look great together, but something is off and Kupp isn't making his own plays.
TE: Higbee	Temperance	The middle path, patience, finding meaning	Higbee will have a very mediocre night. He'll get some points, but it's not that far off from his average performance the last couple weeks.
D/ST	IV of Cups	Apathy, contemplation, disconnectedness	The loss of Talib is hitting them hard and Peters might be out too. Don't expect a Bills (...) like performance.
K: Ficken	The Star - Reversed	Insecurity, discouragement, faithlessness	When a kicker isn't there mentally, they can't kick. Ficken isn't going to be great this week, he's rattled.

This sounds like it'll be a pretty sloppy game all around.
