I doubt it.

First, he has some competition, especially with Presidents who dealt with consequential times.

The reputations of Jackson, Wilson and JFK have taken a hit in the last decade, so that may leave some openings, but not enough.

It's difficult for future historians to measure something that didn't happen (a second Great Depression) and Obamacare isn't that significant compared to the policy accomplishments of great Presidents. Drone strikes have been rather successful, so that's a plus, albeit a controverisal one. You can add to that various policy screw-ups (Rise of Isis, A more confident Russia, Using the power of the Justice Department handle sexual assault, etc.)
