Karen had the top scorer in the league this week with QB Deshaun Watson racking up 30.86 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Fry Em, who secured a 130.12-122.36 win. Fry Em nabbed an early 18.90-point lead on Thursday. Karen came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Deshaun Watson (30.86 points) and Tyreek Hill (18.3).
