2025 Receiving Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming from Kentucky, Key is expected to make an instant impact with Nebraska as a top target. The 6-foot-3 receiver commanded a dominant target share with the Wildcats in 2024, catching 47 passes for 715 yards and just two touchdowns in what was a borderline-anemic Kentucky passing attack. With potential breakout candidate Dylan Raiola under center, along with fellow transfer receiver Nyziah Hunter sharing defensive pressure, Key could be in line to benefit from a more stable offense as a top target in Lincoln in 2025.

Scores game winner
Key accrued four receptions (on seven targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-31 win versus Maryland.
ANALYSIS
Overall, Key had a decent day against the Terrapins, catching four passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-3 receiver showed up when the team needed him, however, connecting with quarterback Dylan Raiola on a three-yard scoring strike with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, giving the Cornhuskers the final lead of the game. While he hasn't been a huge contributor on the season, Key has been an important part of the Nebraska offense, catching 20 passes for 269 yards and four touchdowns through the team's first six contests. His next chance will come against Minnesota on Friday.
