Post Body

Hello my dear r/fantasyfootball friends. It's me, the champion of the cards, your own personal conduit to the universe, they who can see (or at least blindly guess) at the future of football performance. Let's get right to it, scroll down for a sneak peek at tonight's TNF action!

Past week spreadsheets with accuracy ratings(week 3 ) kindly added bytometoyou1983 (<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.

Here. We. GOOOOOOOO!

Miami Dolphins:

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Brock from Pokemon	The Lovers	Partnerships, union, duality, choice	Interesting draw! Sounds like he performs a lot better than many think he will.
RB: Kenyan Drake	Knight of Swords	Action, speed, ambition	Drake going all out this game, but there is danger here due to recklessness. From the card it sounds more like injury risk than turnovers to me.
RB: Frank Gore	II of Swords	Difficult choices, indecision, stalemate	I think this points to Drake seeing more of the work and Gore being taken out by the defense. "one must take a stand" is interesting though, perhaps a single big play?
WR: DeVante Parker	Queen of Cups - Reversed	Coldness, insecurity, dependence	"emotional instability." Sounds like Parker is a downgrade without his normal QB. Not a great play.
WR: Danny Amendola	Temperance - Reversed	Extremes, excess, lack of balance	This card can suggest too much, but is that possible in fantasy? It sounds like he's just making up for Parker's lack of connection with Osweiler. Good play this week.
WR: Jakeem Grant?	Knight of Swords	Action, speed, ambition	Oh hey! Here comes Jakeem! With an unknown I would heed the fear that he won't be paying close attention to the defense, but at the same time great draw. DFS play for sure.
TE: Derby	VII of Wands - Reversed	Give up, destroyed confidence, feeling overwhelmed	Oof. Don't be surprised if he doesn't play, but even if he suits up you don't want a part of him.
K: Jason Sanders	II of Swords	Difficult choice, indecision, stalemate	Meh, mediocre performance. I wouldn't be surprised if a kick was missed due to his head not being there.
D/ST	The Star	Hope, faith, rejuvenation	Wow, great draw for the D. Sounds like Miller won't get another 100 yard rushing game this week. Good play.

The Houston Texonians:

Player Position/Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB: Deshaun Watson	The Tower - Reversed	Disaster avoided, delaying distaster, fear of suffering	Injury risk in the future, this game he'll be playing hesitantly. With the Miami D getting a good draw I downgrade Watson here for sure.
RB: Lamar Miller	Justice	Cause and effect, clarity, truth	I think Miller deserves some decent games after his poor start, but might be my bias in drafting him :P. If he put in the work in practice this week he'll perform, unclear read here. I expect his normal mediocrity.
RB: Alfred Blue	X of Pentacles	Legacy, inheritance, culmination	Blue is going to take a TD from Miller in my mind. Sounds like he'll get points.
WR: DeAndre Hopkins	IX of Pentacles - Reversed	Mistakes, obsession with work, setbacks	He's thinking about his recent mediocre performances and trying to move forward. Don't think this is the week though, expect his middling performances to continue.
WR: Will Fuller V	Strength	Bravery, compassion, focus, inner strength	If you're deciding between Hopkins or Fuller, I'd take a flier of Fuller. He's seen as an equal and is up to the task this week.
WR: Vyncint Smith	King of Wands - Reversed	Impulsive, overbearing, unachievable expectations	He's no Keke. I think he gets a couple catches, but really just isn't ready to shine. Not a great option.
TE: Ryan Griffin (He's out!!)	V of Swords	Unbridled ambition, win at all costs, sneakiness	Oooh, interesting! Griffin might get some good targets this week. I'm probably going with him in DFS based off this.
TE: Jordan Thomas	The Empress - Reversed	Dependence, smothering, emptiness	Dependence can be good in fantasy, but emptiness means no points. He can't get away from the D and mostly just blocks.
K: Ka'imi Fairbairn	The Magician	Willpower, desire, creation, manifestation	Long FGs coming! If you're looking for a K tonight, go with Fairbairn. Especially with the generally poor draws from the rest of the offense.
D/ST	King of Wands - Reversed	Impulsive, overbearing, unachievable expectations	Don't expect greatness, but the overbearing and domineering sides of this card could suggest great pressure on Brock. I'm confident they'll perform pretty well.
