Analysis: Dorsey will provide excellent depth to their defensive line. We wouldn't count on him for Fantasy play.
News: CBSSports.com NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported Sunday that the Chiefs have placed defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey on injured reserved, ending his season. Dorsey had missed four of the last five games due to a lingering calf injury.
Analysis: Dorsey registered just seven tackles in four games this season and is more of a big body for the Chiefs. Owners that had been stashing him away in deeper IDP formats should feel free to part ways with the 27-year-old as his tenure in Kansas City could be over.

Analysis: Dorsey has not been a statistical monster since being a first-round pick in 2008. He has managed 60-plus tackles in each of the last two seasons, but he has just four career sacks. He is far more important to his real team and has low-end Fantasy appeal in IDP formats.
News: Chiefs defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey had to be helped off the field during Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks with what looked like a left knee injury. No further information was known about the injury after game time.
Analysis: Dorsey dealt with knee injuries last year as well, so hopefully this is not something that he has re-aggravated. Dorsey is coming off a 62-tackle season, but he does not produce much else, so Fantasy owners in IDP formats should leave him for deeper leagues, when healthy.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey was able to shake off a leg injury in Week 14 against the Jets. Dorsey briefly left during the 37-10 contest with his injury, but was able to return. He finished with nine tackles -- two solo -- in the defeat, which was second only to Derrick Johnson's 12 stops.
Analysis: Dorsey has been dealing with a knee injury for much of the season, but has still been able to put up decent numbers. He now has 50 tackles on the year, but has yet to register a sack or turnover. Consider him a low-end Fantasy DL heading into Week 15.

Analysis: Dorsey injured his knee last week against Denver and was not ready to play by the final Week 11 game. Fantasy owners should keep him out of all rosters in IDP formats. Dorsey has 35 tackles through nine games this season and can be considered a low-end option in most IDP formats, when healthy.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Week 11 against the Patriots. Dorsey, who sustained the injury in last week's loss to the Broncos, was limited in practice this week.
Analysis: Dorsey was unable to go full speed in practice this week, so his status remains very much in question heading into Week 11.

Dorsey has 35 tackles through nine games this season and can be considered a low-end option in most IDP formats, when healthy.

Analysis: Granted, Dorsey assisted on all of his tackles but it was encouraging to see him finish with a season high. The former first-round selection in the 2008 NFL Draft has sputtered early and is still searching for his first sack. Consider him a low-end option in Fantasy IDP formats.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey did not have his most productive performance in Week 2 against the Lions. He recorded one solo tackle and assisted on another in the 48-3 loss.
Analysis: Dorsey recorded four tackles in the season opener but was very quiet on Sunday. He usually does not rack up a ton of stats being the man in the middle for the Chiefs so continue to view Dorsey as more of a low-end option in IDP formats.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey totaled four tackles (two solo) in Week 1 against the Bills.
Analysis: Dorsey had his best year as a pro in 2010, totaling 69 tackles and two sacks. He hasn't quite developed as an elite pass rusher, but Dorsey has improved in each of his first three NFL seasons. He is worth using as a No. 2 or No. 3 Fantasy DL.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey had an outstanding game in Week 17 against the Raiders on Sunday. Dorsey had nine tackles and a half-sack. Four of his tackles were solo stops.
Analysis: Dorsey will now try to play well in the first round of the playoffs with the Chiefs hosting the Ravens. Keep an eye on how Dorsey does, but he's worth drafting as a No. 3 DL in IDP leagues in 2011.

Analysis: Dorsey has been a little more productive of late, but ultimately, he does not stat enough to be more than a low-end DL option for owners in IDP leagues.

News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey played well Sunday against Denver in Week 13. Dorsey had six tackles, all solo, and now has 47 tackles on the season.
Analysis: Dorsey is a good source of tackles for a DL but does little else. He should only be used in deeper IDP formats in Week 14 at San Diego.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey did not record a single tackle in Week 12 against the Seahawks. It was the first time this season he failed to record a tackle.
Analysis: Dorsey has just half a sack on the year with 41 tackles and a fumble recovery. His main job is to clog up the middle in Kansas City so continue to view the 25-year-old as a low-end Fantasy DL in IDP formats heading into Week 13 against the Broncos.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey finished tied for second on the team with five tackles in Week 10 against the Broncos. All five of Dorsey's tackles were solo and he now has 37 on the season.
Analysis: Dorsey's main job is to clog up the middle in the Chiefs, but he is athletic enough to make some plays from time to time. Still, at this point he is more valuable to the Chiefs than to Fantasy owners and should be considered merely a low-end Fantasy DL heading into Week 11.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey had another solid game against the Raiders in Week 9. He made three tackles and assisted on another, giving him four in the 23-20 overtime loss.
Analysis: Dorsey's main job is to clog up the middle for the Chefs but he is athletic enough to make some plays from time to time. He has 32 tackles on the year with a half a sack and should only be used as a low-end option in Fantasy IDP formats heading into Week 10 against the Broncos.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey made five tackles in the Week 8 overtime win over the Bills. Three of the tackles were solo.

News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey had three tackles Sunday against Jacksonville in Week 7. He had one solo tackle and now has 26 total tackles on the season.
Analysis: Dorsey is a low-end DL in IDP leagues. His main job is to stuff the run and doesn't usually accrue a lot of big stats. Only use him where needed in IDP leagues in Week 8 against Buffalo.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey was active in Week 6 against the Texans. Dorsey recorded five tackles, four solo and was credited with a quarterback hit in the 35-31 loss.
Analysis: Dorsey has 20 tackles on the season, but only a half a sack. He is a very important part of the Chiefs' run defense, however, is not stating enough to be useful option in Fantasy. Consider him just a low-end DL option in all IDP leagues heading into Week 7.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey totaled six tackles (five solo) in Week 5 against the Colts. He had one tackle for loss. Dorsey has 15 tackles and 1/2 sack in four games.
Analysis: The six tackles were a season high for Dorsey. We are still waiting for the former LSU standout to have a breakout run in the NFL. Right now, he is more important to the Chiefs' cause than Fantasy owners. Dorsey still has low-end Fantasy appeal.
News: Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey was very active in a Week 1 win over San Diego. He was credited with six tackles, including half a sack. He also got credit for two quarterback hits and a tackle for a loss.
Analysis: Dorsey seemed to fit in just fine with new coordinator Romeo Crennel's new 3-4 scheme. He could be more aggressive in the pass-rushing game this season as a result and could be in line for more sacks and quarterback hits. He looks to be a worthy No. 2 DL option in IDP formats in the early going.
News: If Friday's performance is any indication, then Chiefs DL Glenn Dorsey could be in for a big year. Starting at right defensive end in Friday's preseason opener against the Falcons, Dorsey had two tackles on the opening drive and finished with three tackles on the first two drives.
Analysis: The arrival of defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel also means a new defensive scheme. The Chiefs are converting to a hybrid 3-4, so Dorsey could bounce between nose tackle and end all season. “It’s a lot easier this year,” Dorsey told ESPN.com. “We can just go. I really like the 3-4 techniques. I still need to get better, but this year is a big difference.” The new defense definitely should showcase his passing rushing skills, which have been bottled up in his first two seasons. Dorsey has managed just two sacks in his first 31 games. He was a great pass rusher at LSU, so hopefull Crennel's arrival means great things. Draft Dorsey as a late-round Fantasy DL with upside.

Demorrio Williams led the team in tackling, racking up nine tackles. Brandon Flowers had five tackles in the game, also forcing a fumble. Corey Mays and Jon McGraw tied for second on the team in tackles with seven.
Analysis: The Chiefs defense doesn’t have too many playmakers on it and no one on the Chiefs defense is more than a low-end Fantasy option in IDP formats. The Chiefs take on the Broncos in Week 13.

Analysis: Dorsey is looking like a bust at the moment, but still has plenty of time to prove us otherwise. Only draft him in the deepest of IDP leagues.
