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

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

I simulated tonight’s Dolphins-Steelers matchup 10,000 times to calculate the probability of key players hitting certain point thresholds. So, for example: Need 26 points from James Conner? He has an 12.1% chance of pulling out a MNF miracle for you.

Here are the players I’ll touch on:

Steelers: Mason Rudolph, James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, Vance McDonald
Dolphins: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Walton, Preston Williams, DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki

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