Vick Ballard
Daniel Thomas
Justin Forsett
Montario Hardesty
Felix Jones

Stick with Green, none are a very good option but Green is you're safer option

I disagree with the other replies, I'd definitely go with Felix Jones. He will be drawing the start against Atlanta, which has given up more fantasy points against RBs than the Cardinals (who the Packers are facing). Green has been struggling and Starks will probably cut into his carries a bit (See: http://www.packersnews.com/article/20121101/PKR01/311010461/Notebook-Arizona-blitz-pickup-likely-will-fall-RB-Green?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE&gcheck=1&nclick_check=1). Philip Tanner, on the other hand, isn't as much of a threat to Felix Jones.

I would also go with green. While I agree he may lose some carries to Starks he will still probably gt the majorty. Plus, I would imagine Dallas may go down early to Atlanta and abandon the run. Green has been getting the carries, it just takes him breaking one. Stick with green.

Green has been having trouble with blitz packages and overall blocking schemes so Starks will cut into his playing time now that he is healthy after a bout with the flu. I'm surprised Jones is in free agency and would look to pick him up as bench depth since he is nursing a nagging knee injury. I wouldn't drop anyone worthy of remaining on your bench for Jones, but if a schlub exist on your roster he would be the one to release.
