• Saints' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Staying in New Orleans

  02/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Edwards-Helaire signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Edwards-Helaire started the 2024 season on the Chiefs' reserve/non-football illness list. He was activated from the NFI list Oct. 15 but was a healthy scratch for the next nine games and was ultimately waived by Kansas City in mid-December. He signed with the Saints' practice squad two days later and was elevated for the final two games of the regular season, during which he logged 13 carries for 46 yards while adding three catches (on five targets) for 24 yards. By signing a future contract, Edwards-Helaire will be on the Saints' 90-man roster for the start of the new league year March 12. He'll be able to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp and will look to earn a spot on New Orleans' 53-man roster for the 2025 season.

• Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Goes back to practice squad

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Saints reverted Edwards-Helaire to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Edwards-Helaire was elevated for Sunday's Week 18 game against Tampa Bay and led New Orleans running backs with 26 yards on eight carries while adding one reception for 14 yards. With both Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) out of action, Edwards-Helaire finished third in offensive snaps (18) among the Saints' tailbacks, though he didn't trail Jamaal Williams (24) or Jordan Mims (24) by much. After joining New Orleans on a practice-squad deal in mid-December, Edwards-Helaire played in two contests, totaling 46 yards on 13 rushes and 24 yards on three receptions.

• Saints' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Paces ground attack in loss

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Edwards-Helaire rushed eight times for 26 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Saints' 27-19 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. Edwards-Helaire served as a co-lead back alongside Jamaal Williams with both Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) sidelined, and he produced a team-high rushing yardage total. The veteran back will be an unrestricted free agent come the new league year, and Edwards-Helaire shouldn't have too much trouble garnering some interest on the open market given his status as a one-time first-round pick and the fact he's just 25 years old.

• Saints' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Will be active Week 18

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Interim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Edwards-Helaire will be active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Edwards-Helaire will officially be elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday's regular-season finale. He led all Saints running backs with five rushing attempts in the Week 17 loss to the Raiders, and Edwards-Helaire could work ahead of Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims in a backfield that will definitely be without Kendre Miller (concussion) and is unlikely to feature Alvin Kamara (groin), who is listed as doubtful.

• Saints' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  12/31/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Edwards-Helaire could be the No. 1 running back for the Saints in Week 18 at Tampa Bay if Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) are out. Edwards-Helaire filled in for Miller in Week 17 against Las Vegas with five carries for 20 yards and two catches for 10 yards on four targets. There's a chance Derek Carr (hand) could play against the Buccaneers, which would help the entire offense, and Edwards-Helaire could be a flex option in deeper leagues if Kamara and Miller are out.
