No. Unless Biden gives Obama a real reason to dump him.

I've never really understood all this talk about replacing Biden as VP. I don't see anything that would really cause that to happen, and I wonder why it's become so popular.
People are bored and want to come up with outlandish scenarios.

Another problem with comparing sitting VPs to Governors and Senators, is that typically their party has been in power for at least 8 years, so there may be a natural inclination for voters to vote for the other party. Being the VP absolutely give you an advantage in winning your party's nomination. Alban Barkley was the last to fail at a run at his party's nomination as a sitting VP.
