Post Body

The universe is calling r/fantasyfootball, will you pick up? It wants to let you know how the NFL players will perform tonight. THANKS UNIVERSE! Allow me to be your conduit, the operator putting you on a direct line with to fantasy success. It's time for more fantasy football tarot readings!

Past week spreadsheets with accuracy ratings (week 3 ) kindly added by 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.

Okay, here we go!

The Saints:

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot take
QB: Drew Brees	Page of Pentacles - Reversed	Daydreaming, impracticality, laziness	Brees might get hit a few times tonight or not see some defenders downfield, sounds like his attention just isn't there.
RB: Alvin Kamara	The Tower - Reversed	Disaster avoided, delaying disaster, fear of suffering	With Ingram back we might see some regression from Kamara. Not too much I don't think, but some.
RB: Mark Ingram	VIII of Swords - Reversed	Self-acceptance, new perspective, freedom	Perfect card for Ingram. He's free and ready to move on and play. Good game coming.
WR: M. Thomas	IV of Pentacles	Conservation, security, frugality	I think we can expect a TD from Thomas at least. He wants more than he got last week. Some fear with Brees checking down/relying on the run.
WR: Cameron Meredith	IX of Wands	Resilience, pushing forward, last strength	Cam Meredith isn't in pay dirt yet, but it's coming. He'll be playing hard this week even if not fully rewarded. Decent game at least.
WR: Tre'Quan Smith	The Fool	Innocence, new beginnings, free spirit	Smith is playing free this week, he might make some big plays as he's going into things without restriction. Risky boom/bust, hard to predict.
TE: Ben Watson	Justice - Reversed	Dishonest, unaccountability, unfairness	Watson is scary this week, he's not ready to capitalize on Ginn being out even if he should.
K: Will Lutz	Ace of Cups - Reversed	Wasted emotions, blocked creativity, emptiness	Nope. Missed kick?
D/ST	The Lovers	Partnerships, union, duality, choice	The Saints D is on the same page this week and they're ready to fight. Better than expected performance.

Washington:

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Alex Smith	III of Pentacles - Reversed	Lack of teamwork, disorganized, group conflict, competition	Oof, something is wrong in Washington (there's a political joke somewhere). Mediocre at best performance, multiple picks at worst.
RB: Adrian Peterson	Queen of Pentacles	Practicality, creature comforts, financial security	AP is gonna play, but it's not going to be more than a stable game. Expect a safe, middle of the road game.
RB: Chris Thompson	Page of Cups - Reversed	Immaturity, escapism, lack of creativity	Maybe one huge play and then lots of nothing. PPR play for catches but not yards.
WR: P. Rich	II of Wands	Planning, making plans, discovery	He's a work in progress. I'd expect a performance similar to his average for the year.
WR: Jamison Crowder	Knight of Cups	Messenger, romance, adventure	I think we'll see people wanting crowder next week. Good performance this week.
WR: Maurice Harris	Knight of Pentacles - Reversed	Laziness, obsessiveness, work without reward	Yeahhhh, nope.
TE: Jordan Reed	III of Swords - Reversed	Recovery, forgiveness, moving on	He's healthy and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a TD tonight. He's ready to show what he can do. He'll be a positive.
K: Hopkins	Page of Cups - Reversed	Immaturity, escapism, lack of creativity	Not a great night for kickers. Tantrums aren't good for this position, maybe a missed kick on both sides.
D/ST	IV of Cups	Apathy, contemplation, disconnectedness	They're overrated. Don't trust them this week.
