San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Stevie Johnson is having a little fun with his followers on Twitter.

The product of Kentucky has drafted many of his fans to his ‘fantasy work team’ and is handing out points for a plethora of work-related tweets sent his way; some funny, some serious.

The response to the idea has been overwhelming and is a nice change from the usual flaming that fans engage star athletes with.

Johnson and the 49ers take to the field to do battle with the Eagles this Sunday in Philadelphia, a must-win for San Fran after two straight losses where they blew early leads.
