Dillon and Roy Williams are your best options. Dillon is getting older, but he is still your most valuable player. In a redraft league, I see him as the 8th-14th best overall player next year. Roy Williams has shown the talent to be among the premier WRs for his career in his rookie season. In the next few seasons he could be as valuable as Moss, Harrison, and TO have been the past few years.
Chad Johnson may be good trade bait, and is a borderline keeper. If you can get any kind of a better draft position by trading him, do it.
David Carr and Lee Evans are quality young players, but not worth consideration as keepers.
Julius Jones is definitely worth grabbing. His worth is about the same as Roy Williams right now, but extremely volatile due to his limited playing time. If he has any more games like the one this week he will be more valuable than Dillon. If he bombs, he could be worthless.
Ricky is worthless except for trade value. If you can get him and trade him to a sucker, go for it.

Of the guys being discussed here, I believe they will end up being keepable in the following order:
1) Corey Dillon
2) Julius Jones
3) David Carr
4) Roy Williams
Running backs are just that much of a commodity. The case for Dillon cannot be stated any better than bg states it above. I also believe Jones to be the real deal, lack of currently available data notwithstanding, and we all know Parcells "wants his back". Williams came out of the gate with a fury, but has surely calmed down since then, yes, in part at least, due to injury, but that too is part of the game. And, now, the Lions may be making a change at quarterback away from Harrington with whom Williams was developing good chemistry early on. I would actually keep Carr over him. I think he is really on the upswing. Next year could be his breakout year... in a big way. As stated above, though, I would do whatever you can to get your hands on Julius Jones.

I'll let Steg do all the work and explaining here and I'll just say "I agree" with him. One other note on Roy Williams is that regardless of who is the QB next year, Charles Rogers will be back again, so that means some ball-sharing at the least.
