The NFL regular season is ending soon, which means the fantasy football seasons are also coming to an end.
But even though the season is coming to an end, the fantasy football punishments are just beginning. For the player who finishes in last place, a common punishment is having to spend 24 hours in a bar or IHOP eating pancakes.
New York Giants star receiver Malik Nabers was drafted in the first round by many players, but the second-year receiver tore his ACL in Week 4. The Giants certainly missed him in the lineup, as did many fantasy football players, whose teams looked very different without Nabers.

Nabers and IHOP teamed up to make a hilarious commercial mocking his injury and the impact it had on fantasy football players.
“Every year, thousands of fantasy football leagues force their last-place team to spend 24 hours at IHOP eating pancakes,” Nabers said.
A waitress then interrupted him and said, “Just like you helped everyone’s fantasy team this season?”

Nabers was eating pancakes, with his crutches next to him, when a child approached and asked the Giants star if it was him.
After Nabers confirmed it was himself, the kid yelled, “I wasted my first-round pick on you!”
The 22-year-old was poised to make his sophomore season look a lot like his rookie season. As a rookie, Nabers had 109 receptions for 1,204 yards with seven touchdowns.

Nabers set the record for most catches ever made by a rookie wide receiver. In four games before tearing his ACL, the former LSU star had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy owners recruiting Nabers next season are hoping he returns to form and they avoid last place.
