Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
About Clyde
Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a running back currently on the roster of the New Orleans Saints, wearing number 26. He stands 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 207 pounds, a compact and powerful build that has defined his style as a between-the-tackles runner with lateral agility. Edwards-Helaire came out of LSU, where he was a key contributor to the Tigers' 2019 national championship backfield before entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs. After several seasons in Kansas City, where injuries limited his availability at various points, he moved on to find a new opportunity in New Orleans.
Through 2 games played in the 2024 season, his sample size remains limited, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions about his role or volume within the Saints' offense at this stage. For bettors, the primary angles on a back with his profile typically center on rushing attempts, receiving targets out of the backfield, and combined yards totals. Given his limited game count so far, his usage share relative to other Saints backs is worth monitoring closely before committing to rushing or receiving prop bets. As more games accumulate and his snap count and touch share become clearer, prop lines for carries and receptions will carry more context. Tracking his week-to-week role is the key factor for any Saints backfield betting decisions.
