Derrick Henry Poised for Breakout Week 8 Against Bears After Bye

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry is highlighted as a strong Yahoo DFS pick for Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. Coming off a bye, Henry is expected to handle a heavy workload and benefit from a favorable matchup against a Bears defense that has allowed 111 rushing yards per game and six total touchdowns to running backs in six games. His potential for a breakout performance is strong regardless of quarterback Lamar Jackson's hamstring availability; if Jackson sits, Henry becomes the offense's focal point, and if Jackson plays, defenses will divert resources, opening up running lanes. Despite a "boom-or-bust" 2025 season, Henry has already delivered two performances with over 130 rushing yards, indicating his high upside.
