If the bills average more than 13 PPG this year I'll be happy. So to answer your question, no, I don't think the Bills have any Fantasy sleepers. In fact, I would avoid having any Buffalo Bill players on your roster.
However, I think the Bills defense is actually going to be pretty good. They're going to a 3 - 4, and they got some speed at the OLB especially with Aaron Maybin, and they have a ball-hawking secondary. Poz should also have another good year.
EDIT
As for sleeper keepers in general?
Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys
Chad Henne, QB, Miami

Just when you thought Bill could not be more Belichickian...
Earlier this week it was reported that the Patriots had begun removing pictures and mementos from the squad's victories, including three Super Bowl seasons. It was seen as a way to motivate the current crop of new players, to send a message that they can't rely on history anymore.
So Bill was asked about this and what was his response? “The walls needed to get painted."

Derek Mason, Anquan Boldin, Mark Clayton, McClain, Ray Rice, and Joe Flacco...I hadn't realized how impressive the Raven's collection of skill players were.

I just saw an interview with Jamarcus Russell on ESPN outside the lines and my thoughts are as follows. He was very honest about pretty much everything. Something needs to be done about the amount of money the 1st round draft picks are getting without ever stepping onto the field. It will be a huge issue in the next collective bargaining agreement. And how the heck did this guy EVER write a college paper? I needed subtitles at times to understand him.
B&W- got my draft this Friday- what is going on with the Giants? Is Jacobs healthy? How will Hicks injury affect Steve Smith? Any other fantasy news
I would ask appoo about the Bills but there is no one worth taking- I am not sold on Spiller when they can't throw the ball to horrible receivers.
Anyone hear anything about Welker? I saw him play and he looks great but will he rake in another season of 100+ catches?
What do people think about Beanie Wells? I had him last year but he is very inconsistent. I am worried about Matty running that team.
what defenses are half decent this year? The Ravens 2ndary is injured. The Steelers 2ndary is questionable. I am hearing good things about the San Fran.
Anyone know of any guys who will be 2nd string this year but will become the starter next year because the 1st stringer's contract will be up? If there is football next year

Probably not ... 80ish is probably more realistic. He'll probably share snaps with Edelman (a Welker clone) for a while.
I think no football next year is a distinct possibility. The owners want major changes and the new head of the Player's Union seems like more of a hardass than Upshaw. It could get ugly.

I would be very cautious with Jacobs. One of the Giants strengths the past few years is they have had the same line since around 2004 or 2005. However, those guys are all getting up in years and I think they are starting to become a bit of a liability. I think the Giants will be ok this year, but I would not expect great things from the running game.
I assume you mean "Nicks"? The other guy is Hixon, who was released. I think Nicks will be fine. If you're talking about Hixon, well, he's gone so I wouldn't worry about him.

ok, I'm in a straight draft league that gives points for yards as well as TDs. I've got the #1 pick in the draft (which is actually a lousy position in my opinion because I don't pick again for like 23 picks). I'm definitely taking a running back.
Who should I take?
Last year I had the #1 pick and I took Adrian Peterson. Not sure I'd take him again, though. I was thinking maybe Chris Johnson of the Titans but I'm not sure he's not a fluke.
Opinions? My draft is on the 7th, btw, so I've got some time but I'd like to start lining up my pick.

I would take Chris Johnson without hesitating. The guy is machine and he seems really motivated to break 2,500 yards. I don't think he can do it. He also catches the ball out of the backfield and gets a ton of YACs and TD's which turn into fantasy points.
I was drafting 6th last night in a 12 team league. I got Favre real late in the draft which I think was a steal. I waited too long for the tight end i really wanted and paid the price. I think it was round 12 or something like that and the guy in front of me picked up the Bengals Tight end- last name Gresham (spelling). This guy is going to be real good as a tight end and not too many people know about him so you can get him real late but don't wait too long. he is a rookie and Palmer has never really had a TE to throw in his tenure at Cincy.

I think the guy who picked in front of you may have done you a favor. Gresham may be a solid TE but with Ochocinco and TO at WR there is going to be a lot of crying about not getting the ball enough. Palmer may never throw to his TE this year.

With Favre back, I think Johnson is the safer pick at #1. Last year, the Vikes threw the ball alot, and Favre loved to use his TE in the red zone, rather than let AD get his TDs.
vince young still needs a good, supporting running game to do well.

I'm in two leagues, one of which is a keeper league, though I don't necessarily have to select a keeper. Somewhat traditional scoring rules, except there is a 15-point bonus at the 100-yard rushing/receiving threshold.
Roster is as follows:
QB - Kurt Warner; Vince Young
RB - Ryan Grant; Brandon Jacobs; Fred Jackson; Marshawn Lynch; Felix Jones
WR - Vincent Jackson; Santana Moss; Percy Harvin; Bernard Berrian
TE - Dallas Clark
K - David Akers
D/ST - Cardinals; Chargers
The only player I'm really considering as a keeper is Ryan Grant, but I'm looking for additional advice. Vincent Jackson would be a possibility except for that 3-game suspension he will have to serve.

How many teams in your league? I wouldn't keep Grant in my 10 league team.

I was thinking the same thing but the roster is from last year hence a keeper league he can choose someone to keep.
I don't think I would keep anybody but what are the rules? do you forfeit your 1st round pick if you keep somebody?
