Worth noting

Remember to make the most of your DL spots. If you have an injured player, put them on the DL to free up a roster spot for a replacement from the free agent pool, waiver wire of via trade.

As week two is a regular seven-day matchup, remember to make sure your team pitches at least 20 innings otherwise you will forfeit all of the pitching categories.
