Imagine you have the following Calendar class and you want to replace some members which are not overridable via classic mocking libraries...

public class Calendar
{
    public static DateTime Yesterday => DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
    internal Task<DateTime> AddSomeMinutesAsync(DateTime date) => Task.Run(() => AddSomeMinutes(date));
    public static DateTime AddSomeMinutes(DateTime date) => date.AddMinutes(new Random().Next(1, 10));
}

Static DateTime.Now property (run it on .NET Fiddle):

[Fact]
public void Yesterday_SomeDay_ThePrevDay()
{
    var fake = new Fake<Calendar>();

    var sut = fake.Rewrite(() => Calendar.Yesterday);
    sut.Replace(() => DateTime.Now).Return(new DateTime(2016, 8, day: 8));

    Assert.Equal(new DateTime(2016, 8, 7), sut.Execute());
}

Non-static and virtual Random.Next(int, int) method but instantiated right inside the AddSomeMinutes method (run it on .NET Fiddle):

[Fact]
public async Task AddSomeMinutesAsync_SomeDay_MinutesAdded()
{
    var randomValue = 7;
    var date = new DateTime(2016, 8, 8, hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0);
    var fake = new Fake<Calendar>();

    var sut = fake.Rewrite(f => f.AddSomeMinutesAsync(date));
    sut.Replace((Random r) => r.Next(1, 10)) // Arg.Is<int>(i => i == 10) is also possible
                           // r.Next(1, 11) fails with "Expected - 11, actual - 10"
        .ExpectedCalls(1) // c => c > 1 fails with "Actual value - 1"
        .Return(randomValue);

    Assert.Equal(date.AddMinutes(randomValue), await sut.Execute());
}

You can also add additional statements at specific places that could be helpful for non-trivial scenarios like race-condition testing (run it on .NET Fiddle):

[Fact]
public void AddSomeMinutes_SomeDay_EventsRecorded()
{
    var events = new List<string>();
    var fake = new Fake<Calendar>();

    var sut = fake.Rewrite(() => Calendar.AddSomeMinutes(new DateTime(2016, 8, 8)));

    sut.Prepend(() => events.Add("The first line"));
    sut.Prepend(() => events.Add("The line before AddMinutes(...) call"))
        .Before((DateTime date) => date.AddMinutes(Arg.IsAny<int>()));

    sut.Append(() => events.Add("The line after new Random() call"))
        .After(() => new Random());
    sut.Append(() => events.Add("The last line"));

    sut.Execute();
    Assert.Equal(new[]
        {
            "The first line",
            "The line after new Random() call", // indeed, this call is earlier
            "The line before AddMinutes(...) call",
            "The last line"
        },
        events);
}
