I suspect the Bills will be rotating their quarterbacks this year. It's highly unlikely that they'll have any success with Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Brohm.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 1,300 passing yards. 7 passing TDs. 10 INTs. 100 rushing yards. 0 rushing TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points (ESPN Scoring): 70.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points (QB Friendly): 97.

According to John Clayton, C.J. Spiller will receive about 12 carries per game. Ah, now I see why the Bills spent the No. 9 overall pick on him. But all Buffalo bashing aside, Spiller is an intriguing PPR fantasy player because he figures to catch at least 60 balls this season. He won't see the end zone much, but he'll rack up the receptions and total yardage.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 680 rushing yards. 58 catches. 490 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points: 141.
Projected 2010 PPR Fantasy Points: 199.

It appears as though C.J. Spiller will be seeing tons of action in the slot, which means Fred Jackson should still be the primary ball-carrier. I'll feel a lot better about Jackson if the Bills part ways with Marshawn Lynch, which would mean that Jackson would see all the rare goal-line opportunities. If Lynch isn't part of the equation - and I don't think he will be - Jackson should be able to approach 200 or so carries, but won't come close to matching last year's reception total of 46.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 825 rushing yards. 25 catches. 200 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points: 126.
Projected 2010 PPR Fantasy Points: 151.

No. 2 receivers on miserable offenses just don't produce. Lee Evans had 44 catches for 612 yards and seven touchdowns last year, as Terrell Owens was the only fantasy receiver of relevance. However, Owens is gone, which means Evans will receive more targets again. In the three years prior to 2009, Evans tallied 1,290, 849 and 1,017 yards, so this is a nice buy-low situation. Don't expect too many touchdowns though.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 900 yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points: 126.
Projected 2010 PPR Fantasy Points: 186.

James Hardy is currently the No. 2 receiver in Buffalo. That may change, but it's largely irrelevant. You don't want any Bills wideout aside from Lee Evans.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 30 catches. 350 yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points: 47.
Projected 2010 PPR Fantasy Points: 77.

Shawn Nelson's best game in 2009 was when he caught four balls for 17 yards against the Patriots in Week 15. Now in his second year, Nelson should see his stats rise, but not by much.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Stats: 26 catches. 250 yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2010 Fantasy Points: 37.
Projected 2010 PPR Fantasy Points: 63.

The Bills won't score many points in 2010, and neither will Rian Lindell. Lindell has hit at least 82.9 percent of his field goals in all but one year since 2004, but Buffalo's offense just isn't good enough.
Projected 2009 Fantasy Stats: 27-32 FG (1-3 from 50+; 7-9 from 40-49). 24 XP.
Projected 2009 Fantasy Points: 113.

Believe it or not, Buffalo's fantasy defense is actually pretty solid. The Bills notched 28 interceptions last year. Their special teams are usually superb. And if Aaron Maybin improves and Aaron Schobel returns, the team could approach 40 sacks (they had 32 in 2009).
