How can I get a table from a website?

I am trying to pull the table from the following website into matlab:

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/stats/posvsdef/RB/DAL/teambreakdown/standard

I have tried using the readtable function which has worked on other websites but not this one. I assume the table on the attached website is formated in a different way (I really don't know much about this area/websites). How can I write a function to pull the data in the attached website into a matlab table?

Thanks!

How about this (it is not a complete answer, but it can be worked around :) .. ):

URL = 'https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/stats/posvsdef/RB/DAL/teambreakdown/standard';
DATA = readtable(URL, FileType="html",ReadVariableNames=false)

DATA = 58×13 table
