Hi jdlev,
..Can someone point me in the right direction on how to scrap the players first name, last name, and projected points from this web page..
You may consider using these two modules LWP::UserAgent and HTML::TreeBuilder to get and parse through the web page for the information you want.
I couldn't get the page you gave, but use one to illustrate, like thus: 

use warnings;
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::TreeBuilder 5 -weak;

my @players_name;

my $url =
'http://facebook-football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/745190/players?st
+atus=A&pos=O&cut_type=9&stat1=S_S_2013&myteam=0&sort=PR&sdir=1';

my $ua      = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $broswer = $ua->get($url);

if ( $broswer->is_success ) {
    my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
    $tree->parse_content( $broswer->decoded_content );
    @players_name = $tree->look_down( 'class' => qr/Nowrap name/ );
}
else {
    die $broswer->status_line;
}

print $_->as_text, $/ for @players_name;

The code above will print all the firstname and lastname of the players.
There are other modules in CPAN or METACPAN that can also do so. So, check in and get started, now you have the right direction you wanted :)

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
