In this instance, you can. Find the commonality in your statement of "Mixon will have to achieve 1200 yards and up. 10 TDs and up," and what I stated that the Patriots do. It's about total team production.

Look at the total rushing and total offense for playoff teams:
BAL - 2441 ruYd, 5999 total yards
NE - 2037 ruYd, 6295 total yards
IND - 1718 ruYd, 6179 total yards
HOU - 2021 ruYd, 5802 total yards
KC - 1855 ruYd, 6810 total yards
LAC - 1873 ruYd, 5962 total yards

DAL - 1963 ruYd, 5501 total yards
PHI - 1570 ruYd, 5845 total yards
LAR - 2231 ruYd, 6738 total yards
SEA - 2560 ruYd, 5653 total yards
CHI - 1938 ruYd, 5502 total yards
NO - 2025 ruYd, 6067 total yards

All playoff teams had 1500+ rushing yards and 5500+ total yards.
So actually my prediction of 6000+ yards was actually too high overall, but probably necessary if you still want to make the playoffs with a bad defense.

The TEAM production is a far better indicator than individual because some teams are structured differently. However, all the playoff teams had certain team production metrics that they hit.
