Astral Projections: Week 4 Sunday/Monday Tarot Readings
Post Body
It's me, your friend with the heart of the cards! Let's sit down and peer into the future of our fantasy teams through the power of Tarot!
This post only contains the top-10 at qb and top-5 at rb/wr. More readings can be found here:
Take a moment to check out week 3, now with accuracy ratings from tometoyou1983 (<33):
Notes:
- I'll be adding more players and positions later tonight.
- 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!
Quarterbacks:
| Player Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patrick Mahomes | V of Wands - Reversed | Avoiding conflict, respecting differences | Mahomes is going to be checking down a bit and won't be rushing, but I don't think that harms his game too much. Still a confident play even if he's a bit hesitant. |
| Drew Bees | V of Pentacles | Need, poverty, insecurity | "There's help available." This card sounds bad, but there is hope here.He's coming back to earth a bit but still has amazing options. |
| Aaron Rodgers | The Fool | Innocence, new beginnings, free spirit | Rodgers is going all out this week and playing free. There's a definite chance he gets injured, but you still have to start him. |
| Philip Rivers | VII of Wands | Perseverance, defensive, maintaining control | Defensive concerns me from a fantasy perspective. Check downs? Throwing it away? Getting pressured hard? Should be able to withstand these challenges and perform. |
| Tom Brady | Temperance | The middle path, patience, finding meaning | Brady is in a good place, but the middle road always concerns me. Look for a bounce back from last week but still not what you expect from Brady. |
| Deshaun Watson | X of Wands | Accomplishment, responsibility, burden | Accomplishment and burden describe Watson well. His head might be missing a bit but I don't see this too negative a sign. |
| Matt Ryan | King of Cups | Compassion, control, balance | "A man of compassion, diplomacy, and generosity." Fire up your Ryans, he's leading this team to victory. |
| Ben Roflburger | VI of Cups | Nostalgia, happy memories, reunion | This always seems like a trap card. Big Ben is happy, but might be blinded to the game and defense. Downgrading him a bit from last weeks performance. |
| Andy Dalton | VII of Pentacles | Hard work, perseverance, diligence | Dalton will be putting in hard work. Cincy might not win, but he should be solid and not throw 4 ints (lol). |
| Russell Wilson | King of Swords - Reversed | Manipulative, cruel, criticism | We need to see Wilson mad and being selfish. Still, he's going to be impulsive and force the issue too much. I don't think he ends up top 10. |
Running backs:
| Player Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alvin Kamara | Queen of Swords - Reversed | Cold hearted, cruel, bitterness | Piercing, single-minded focus that leaves others by the wayside sounds like a great game for Kamara. |
| Ezekiel Elliott | The Lovers | Partnerships, union, duality, choice | Elliott has nudes! He's bonded to this team and is in a good place. Confident start, good game coming. |
| Melvin Gordon | II of Pentacles | Balance, priorities, adapting to change | Gordon can take whatever comes his way and it looks like he's picking FPs off the vine. Good week. |
| Saquon Barkley | The Magician - Reversed | Trickery, illusions, out of touch | Not sure about this draw. I like that it suggests using one's ability for continual self-gain, I think Barkley continues his solid performance. |
| James Conner | King of Wands - Reversed | Impulsive, overbearing, unachievable expectations | Conner is overvalued this week. Temper your expectations. but he's still dominating the carries no matter what |
Wide Receivers:
| Player Name | Card | Keywords | Hot Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Thomas | Queen of Swords - Reversed | Cold heartedness, cruel, bitterness | "Her single-minded focus is piercing, but also leaves others by the wayside." Exactly what you want to hear, good game coming. |
| Antonio Brown | The Wheel of Fortune | Change, cycles, inevitable fate | /shrug - something will happen! |
| OBJ | Queen of Pentacles - Reversed | Work life imbalance, smothering | Something amiss in the locker room. OBJ's mind might not be there this week. Great match up, might see some drops. |
| Julio Jones | Knight of Wands | Action, adventure, fearlessness | Julio is good to go! Charging into battle, but don't expect a td as this card suggests he may be overvalued. |
| DeAndre Hopkins | II of Wands - Reversed | Lack of planning, disorganization, bad planning | Hopkins isn't himself this week and he's not confident with the game plan it seems. There's "great potential to reward" but a fair bit of risk. |
