Jan Heine argues that fenders are aero. Like many of his tests, who knows.
This is getting a bit off track here (no pun intended), but rain fenders run close to the tire like what Jan Heine shows in his photos seem like they would easily clog up with mud, and I'm also not sure how fenders (or mud guards) of any kind would actually help Paris Roubaix racers. 6+ hours of rain and racing in conditions like this and everything is going to be soaked and disgusting, even with fenders:
