Struggling with a 1-4 record that's actually even worse than it should be given their performance. This team isn't good, but they've also been genuinely unlucky on top of their struggles. Sometimes the fantasy gods just aren't on your side, and this is one of those seasons.

💎 Multiple losses despite strong scoring - due for wins
