I think Vick could easily get shut down in Tampa Bay, but I am also one the never sit your studs people. Martin could have a decent game, but with the O-line problems, I'm leary of him.

I think I know which league you're pondering here, but I'll shoot straight regardless 
In our scoring, Tampa has given up a total of 109points all season. They are the Priest Holmes of defenses. It's that far back to second{ok, maybe a little exaggeration, but not much. They've cracked a wee bit here in the last 3 weeks, allowing 3 consecutive double digit scores to qb: 10,10,14 {Only 6 all season and 20(once) is the highest} One of Tampa's strength's is sacks, which have stayed at 3 or 4 a game still. Tough play. They'll make it tough for anything but minimal numbers, but I don't see them shutting him down completly like they did earlier in the year.
KC's defense has, fantasy wise, shut down three of the last 4 qb's it faced. Bledsoe, Garcia, and Plummer combined for 1 passing td. Hasselbeck alone torched us for three. Which d shows up for Govenor's Cup, part duece? Who knows. Martin didn't show me much in weeks 4 & 5, but neither did Hasslebeck.
Martin has the most upside in his match-up, but Vick, by far, is the best be for some points. You've got a pretty nice point machine at rb, so I'd take the risk and leave Vick in there.

I'd start Harrington. 
Arizona has been getting used and abused and shown no signs of getting any better. They've given up an average of 37 points in their last 6 games, losing every one of them. (Including a 49-0 beating at the hands of KC last week) This brings me to my next point... KC has been playing better D as of late and Martin is sure to be rusty... KC is a tough place to play anytime, but ESPECIALLY in December. Now I know that Vick has been a total stud lately, but TB completely shut him down the first time they played. Vick was 4 of 11 passing for only 37 yards and was held to 1 yard rushing. 1 yard! Granted, he did come out in the 3rd quarter due to injury, but Tampa Bay had his number all day. Here's a quote from after the game: "I took a lot of good shots today," said Vick, who isn't sure if he'll be OK in time to play Oct. 13 against the New York Giants. "I hit my head two or three times. I bit my tongue. They put me on my back." Of all 3 of your options, I think Harrington has the best chance for a big game. Of course I also recommended sitting Tomlinson last week... Good luck.

When in doubt ??? , which this thread is indicative of, stick with your studs. In this case, that would be Vick. Don't make the same mistake I made last week by benching a stud just because he is playing Tampa. I benched Joe Horn last week for just that reason.  Even just from a psychological standpoint, getting burnt because you played Vick won't sting nearly as much as if you get burnt because you didn't play Vick. I was actually initially going to suggest playing Harrington, but then I thought that that just muddles the debate more, in which case you should go with Vick.
