2025 Fantasy Outlook
Howden has been productive while playing a reserve role for the Saints the past two years, totaling 93 tackles and two interceptions over 33 regular-season games (11 starts). The 209-pound safety also has played more than 525 defensive snaps in each of his first two seasons. The Saints signed a new starting strong safety in Justin Reid while prolific free safety Tyrann Mathieu retired late in the offseason. Howden could merit some IDP utility if he steps up into a starting role in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.17 million contract with the Saints in May of 2023.
Scores on fumble return in Week 5
Howden notched four tackles (three solo) and recovered a fumble that he returned for a touchdown in a 26-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Howden's touchdown was a game-changer. It came on the first play of the fourth quarter when Cam Skattebo fumbled with New York having driven to the Saints' 12-yard line. The Giants looked like they could be on the verge of the go-ahead score until the fumble, but Howden's TD instead gave New Orleans a 26-14 lead that would hold for the remainder of the contest. It was the first fumble recovery and the first touchdown of any sort in Howden's NFL career.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Howden was thrown into the fire almost immediately during his 2023 rookie campaign, playing at least 95 percent of the defensive snaps in seven of his 16 appearances while filling in across New Orleans' banged-up secondary. Tyrann Mathieu is a lock to start at free safety for New Orleans, but the team also moved on from veteran strong safety Marcus Maye in the offseason. Howden should contend for the other top safety spot next to Mathieu this year.
