Arden Key Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers signed former Las Vegas Raiders pass-rusher Arden Key to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Key represents a low-risk depth signing for San Francisco. The 24-year-old was a third-round pick in the 2018 draft after a poor showing at the NFL combine. He suffered a broken foot in 2019 and played in only seven games. Though he didn't record a single sack last season, Key hit the quarterback on eight percent of his 282 pass rushes and looked the best he has since entering the league. In his three-year career to this point, Key has recorded 49 tackles (eight for loss), 26 QB hits, two passes defensed and three sacks in 37 games (10 starts).

Oakland Raiders defensive end Arden Key (foot) broke his foot in Week 9 against the Lions and is expected to miss the rest of the season. He will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson. Key was second on the team with two sacks this year. Although Key wasn't on the radar in IDP leagues, his loss will be notable for a defense that has only 15 sacks on the entire season. Needless to say, Oakland's defense/special teams won't be a favorable starting unit in Week 10 on Thursday night against the Chargers.
