Post Body

Everyone's favorite time of the day, Tarot time! Let's dive into the cards and figure out who to play and who to sit. Trust int he universe my friends, trust in me [evil laugh].

This post only contains top-5 at qb/rb/wr, check out this sheet for more!

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. 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!

Quarterbacks:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Patrick Mahomes	The Chariot - Reversed	Lack of control, lack of direction, aggression	Patrick Star isn't in control this week, but I don't think that affects his status too much. Even if he throws 2 picks again he'll put up points. At least he's aggressive and pushing his team forward.
Aaron Rodgers	Page of Pentacles - Reversed	Daydreaming, impracticality, laziness	The injury setback has him playing slow. Rodgers is overrated this week, look for him to regress from last week, rushing TDs likely for the RBs.
Matt Ryan	Ace of Wands	Creation, willpower, inspiration, desire	Matt Ryan is pissed after his poor showing last week. I don't expect a ceiling game, but he's looking for the endzone and should have a solid performance. I see him outscoring Rodgers with the Ace.
Jameis Winston	The Hierophant	Tradition, conformity, morality and ethics	Interesting draw for Winston. Middling performance coming, he's not going to be trying for huge plays and instead is just following the playbook to keep the starting role. Nothing flashy, but nothing egregious.
Deshaun Watson	X of Wands	Accomplishment, responsibility, burden	Watson is a tough nut to crack with at least one TD and Int per game this season. Expect the same, hard work and a solid score with mistakes that take away from the on-field performance.

Running Backs:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Todd Gurley	IX of Cups - Reversed	Greed, smugness, dissatisfaction	Gurley doesn't care about being the weekly #1. He just wants more. Great week coming. Slight risk that he overextends and loses the ball, but you're starting him no matter what.
Melvin Gordon	IV of Swords - Reversed	Restlessness, burnout, stress	Not a great draw here. Gordon needs some rest, maybe this points to him being gamescripted out of the run a bit.
Christian McCaffrey	III of Swords	Heartbreak, suffering, grief	Scary draw. Panthers sound out of sorts all around this week. Temper expectations and hope for no injuries.
Ezekiel Elliott	The Devil	Excess, materialism, playfulness	This card represents things that hold humanity back, but these are also things I want in fantasy. I think the chains hold him back from a huge game, but that he outs up rb1 points no matter what with excessive touches.
James White	The World - Reversed	Incompletion, no closure, incomplete goals	Overrated this week. He seems like a great play, but will pull back a bit from the last two weeks.

Wide Receivers:

Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
Julio Jones	Page of Wands	Lack of direction, negativity, feeling caged	Doesn't sound like we can expect a TD this week. You have to play him against Tampa, but I imagine a fairly mediocre game.
Antonio Brown	VII of Cups	Choices, fantasy, illusions	Toss up card, he could be good or bad this week and it's not something I can predict. Check other Saints players for relationships.
DeAndre Hopkins	V of Pentacles - Reversed	Recovery, isolation	Great words for fantasy. He's going to be targeted heavily this week.
Adam Thielen	IV of Wands - Reversed	Lack of communication, instability, home conflicts	Disconnected this week. Cousins had a very similar draw. Still your best option for the Vikes at WR.
Davante Adams	Queen of Pentacles	Practicality, creature comforts, financial security	Play adams. He likely won't have an AMAZING game, but it's going to be above his already high floor. Safe play.
