It's one of the more unfortunate offshoots of sports social media: fans harassing athletes about their fantasy production.
On Wednesday, San Fransisco 49ers wide receiver Stevie Johnson let us know he is turning the tables.
I drafted many of you to my fantasy work team so make sure to grab me some points today at your workplace. Don't let me down.

September 24, 2014 That's right. Somehow we're responsible for earning fantasy points now. Who knew!
Apparently, some of Johnson's followers is who. And hey, one of our colleagues had a pretty solid day:
@StevieJohnson13 Booked 3 guests today. Each one work 5 points for you. BOOM.

September 24, 2014 Yess! Need those points. Be smooth SW "

September 24, 2014 Oh, but there was more.
Some other good performances ...
@StevieJohnson13 I just crushed a spreadsheet for you.

September 24, 2014@StevieJohnson13 overslept this morning, like a fumble on the 1st carry of the game. Worked hard the rest of the day.

September 24, 2014 Then there was one OUTSTANDING perf -- wait a minute. Ninety points for sending emails? Andrew Luck
leads ESPN leagues with 74 points total for the season! This guy has to be inflating his numbers.
@StevieJohnson13 I am a beast champ, attended 4 meetings today and killed it. Sent at least 30 emails, 3 pts each. Fantasy Playoffs baby!

September 24, 2014 Oh, but not everyone wanted to be used for Johnson's game.
@StevieJohnson13 @SandoESPN I'll get right on that when I get signed to a 5 year, 30MM dollar deal.

P.S. No word on how Johnson's fantasy SportsCenter team is doing.
