Spotlighted 

When a large group of people does something that everyone in the group wants to do, but everyone says they are doing it only because one person may have suggested it or expressed a slight desire to do it.
“I just got spotlighted. Everyone said they wanted to go get ice cream, but when we got there, they acted like I was the only one who wanted to go and they made me order first.”

“I just got spotlighted. We all ageeed to the beach but everyone said, ‘They came here for me when the turned shitty.’”

Spotlight ranger 

Someone who only performs when a superior observes them; not a team player. From US Army Ranger school slang for a ranger student who doesn't give his all unless he is the one being evaluated on a mission - ie they only perform in the spotlight.
Jones is such a spotlight ranger. He didn't help with the project and then when the boss arrived he handed out the packets as if he did all the work.
