L. Johnson(KC): One of my mistake pick (could have had R.Brown or R. Grant at this point). One consolation is that he is getting the bulk of the carries. J. Stewart(CAR): He is getting about 40% of the carries with some goal line carries. J. Jones(SEA): Week one was great but he lost a lot of carries to his backup. B. Wells(ARI): More dynamic then Hightower, but doesn't factor into the passing game and lost two fumbles.

Non-keeper league I like SWFWP (some what fast willie parker) over Wells. The coaching staff has been very surprised by his YPC, but also his fumbles, thus the reasoning why they are keeping him out of the important parts of games. Hightower still owns the goal line carries and like you said Wells is not apart of the passing game. So this leaves you with basically around 50-70 yards on a GOOD week for Wells to contribute with the risk of a fumble in there.
Willie I still think carries good value, injuries are always a concern as is Mendy, but at this point and time he still has the #1 job and will still see plenty of field time to contribute to your squad. I would take Willie over Wells in a redraft.
I still think Beanie will take the job soon, he's just soo much more talented than Hightower. Maybe drop LJ but FWP is going to lose lots of carries to Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore.

How can you say that? They are 2 totally different RBs. Hightower POUNDS Beanie in receiving and will be the goal line back no matter what. Beanie has ball control issues that he also had at Ohio State, on top of Injury woes, Hightower has neither of those nasty qualities that Wells has. I think this is a little far fetched to say that Beanie is 'just soo much more talented then Hightower.'
I would keep what you have... Willie Parker is injury prone, the Steelers are now a passing team, and the ball is going to be shared amongest Parker, Moore, and Mendenhall. I have Parker in another league and hes riding my bench unless he blows up and then I'll try to trade him. Again, keep what you have.
Of all the choices listed I see LJ as the RB with the least upside. I'd keep Wells to see if he lives up to the hype. Jones will continue to see action, esp with Hasselback hurt. And Stewart has too much potential to let go. So between LJ and Willie it seems like a toss up. When I am stuck in a toss up situation I try and ask myself which team I see getting more points.I see the Steelers getting more than KC so that might tip it in favor of dropping LJ to get Willie. Tough one. Good luck. And thanks for the insight on my question about Bush for Big Ben or Willie. You made it clear to at least keep Big Ben.
