Post Body

It's a me, Super Tariot. Here to flip some cards and make largely clueless interpretations of the universe! Come with me on a journey to fantasy football success, it's time for THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBAHHH!

Take a moment to review week 3 and 4 spreadsheets with accuracy ratings from tometoyou1983 (<33):

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 get to the action!

The Colt .45s

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Andy Luck	VIII of Cups	Walking away, disillusionment, leaving behind	Luck is in better health and ready to move on, but his receivers have left the field behind... He'll look fine, but might not score too many points due to circumstance. Points left on the table.
RB: Nyheim Hines	The Star - Reversed	Insecurity, discouragement, faithlessness	Hines won't be as great as last week, but he's still going to get volume. We just can't trust him to perform again. Nudes tho!
RB: Jordan Wilkins	Judgement - Reversed	Lack of self-awareness, doubt, self-loathing	Wilkins can't find the hole this week and gets stuffed a bit. Blindness is core here.
WR: Ryan Grant	Page of Pentacles	Dreams, desire, new opportunity	Grant has great upside this week, he's coming in with enthusiasm and is likely the best WR play. Luck (heh) is on his side. TD?
WR: Chester Rogers	VII of Swords - Reversed	Turn a new leaf, desire to reform, desire to change	Mr. Rogers is a bit locked down this week, but should make a couple plays. Mediocre performance.
WR: Zach Pascal (who are these people???)	Ace of Wands - Reversed	Lack of energy, lack of passion, boredom	Pascal can't be trusted, he's either slow or committing drops. Might get some catches but nothing to rely on.
TE: Eric Ebron	VI of Pentacles - Reversed	Selfishness, stinginess, debt	Selfishness is good, he'll get fed the ball. But, he's going to be a focus of the defense. debt points to a fumble perhaps?
K: Vinatieri	X of Wands - Reversed	Inability to delegate, lack of priorities	Might play injured and miss a kick. At least he wants to be on the field.
D/ST: Dee Estee	Temperance	The middle path, patience, finding meaning	Colts D is putting in work. They might be on the field quite a bit, but they should perform. Better than expected but still middling game.

THE ~~NEW ENGLAND~~ AMERICAN PATRIOTICS

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Thomas Brady	VIII of Swords	Imprisonment, powerlessness, self-victimization	Brady is pissed that he hasn't been up to par most of the season. He'll be fine, but don't expect a high-end performance. Mediocre game inc.
RB: James White	IX of Wands - Reversed	Exhaustion, fatigue, reaching burnout	White is going to get quite a few targets this week, but don't expect tons of YAC, he's tired. He'll push through but is slowed.
RB: Sony Michelstation	IX of Swords	Anxiety, hopelessness, nightmares	Sony looked good last week, but he's not there mentally this week. Trying to do too much and can't decide where to cut. Not a second 100 yard rushing performance.
WR: Phillip Dorsett	IV of Cups	Apathy, contemplation, disconnectedness	Dorsett is going to get a few great looks, but likely won't come down with the majority. He's not playing locked-in, not worth the $ in DFS.
WR: JOSH GORDON	The Wheel of Fortune	Change, cycles, inevitable fate	I think this card exemplifies Gordon. We just don't know how he'll perform, but he's been down a lot lately and is prime for a solid performance. Risk it all on Jash?
WR: Julian Edelman	V of Swords	Unbridled ambition, win at all costs, sneakiness.	Edelman looks to perform this week, he's got a sword. But it's coming at some risk. Injury perhaps? There's consequence here that isn't obvious.
WR: Hogan's Heroes	The High Priestess	Intuition, unconscious, inner voice	Hogan is going through some internal changes. He can't be trusted to get targets, but he's getting his head in the right space. Good efficiency if he gets targets.
TE: Graaaaahnk	Ace of Cups - Reversed	Wasted emotions, blocked creativity, emptiness	Oof. "Drained of the powers that it could potentially give." Don't expect to get saved by Gronk.
K: Gostkowski	III of Swords - Reversed	Recovery, forgiveness, moving on	Solid play this week, trust in the Gost.
D/ST: D'fense Speshalteems	The Fool - Reversed	Recklessness, being taken advantage of, inconsideration	They're going to give up a few big plays that they shouldn't. I think the Colts play themselves more than they get affected by the D.
