New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is serving up laughs hotter than a fresh stack in his new IHOP commercial, bravely roasting his own fantasy football flop.
The second-year star — fresh off a dazzling 2024 rookie campaign with 109 catches, 1,204 yards, and seven touchdowns — entered 2025 as a top fantasy pick. Then disaster struck: A torn ACL in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers sidelined him after just four games (18 receptions, 271 yards, two TDs), turning many league winners into pancake-level losers.
In the ad, Nabers highlights the classic fantasy punishment — forcing last-place finishers to spend 24 hours at IHOP gorging on pancakes — before announcing bottomless pancakes as IHOP’s “big win” consolation.
A waitress smirks, “Just like you helped everyone’s fantasy team this season?”
A kid excitedly spots Nabers, only to fume, “I wasted my first-round pick on you!” and stomp away.
Nabers, grinning through the burns, yells, “Can we get this kid some pancakes?!”
Pure self-deprecating gold — the man knows how to flip a bad break into comedy syrup.
