The Bills made a power move during the NFL Draft (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/draft) when they mortgaged the future to trade up to select receiver Sammy Watkins (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1850743/sammy-watkins) at No. 4 overall. We're going to find out right away if he's worth it.
Buffalo then sent Steve Johnson (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1116922/steve-johnson) to San Francisco, so this passing attack will have a dramatically different look to it this season than it did in 2013. The key, however, remains the growth of quarterback EJ Manuel (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1672655/ej-manuel), and we hope he has a better sophomore campaign than what he showed as a rookie.
Manuel had trouble staying healthy, missing six games due to knee problems, and he finished with five games with 20-plus Fantasy points in a standard league and five games with 16 points or fewer. In other words, when he was good, he was a serviceable, and when he was bad, he was putrid.
Now, no one is drafting Manuel as anything more than a No. 2 quarterback in the deepest of leagues, but if Fantasy owners want to consider Watkins or even Robert Woods (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1754280/robert-woods) and Mike Williams (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/552678/mike-williams) as potential starting options, then Manuel has to step up his performance. He is someone to watch in the preseason for sure.
And you can figure that if Manuel is playing well then C.J. Spiller (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1127382/cj-spiller) and Fred Jackson (http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/players/playerpage/1102782/fred-jackson) also have the chance for quality production, so here's hoping we get a breakout performance from Manuel in 2014.

They're bullish on Spiller returning to 2012 form.
