Koerner’s Colts-Saints MNF Miracle Odds: Will You Win Your Fantasy Football Semifinal Matchup?

Monday Night Football can make or break your weekly fantasy football matchup. Sweating player(s) you and/or your opponent have makes it a high-leverage situation — especially in the playoffs.

So what’re your chances of a Monday night miracle win?

I simulated tonight’s matchup 10,000 times to calculate the probability of key players hitting certain point thresholds. So, for example: Need 30 points from Michael Thomas? He has a 8.2% chance of pulling out a MNF miracle for you.

Here are the players I’ll touch on:

• Saints: Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray, Michael Thomas, Jared Cook
• Colts: Jacoby Brissett, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines, T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal, Jack Doyle

Now let’s dig into the full odds. (Note these are based on half PPR scoring.)
