If you want all three receivers to be eligible, at least two will have to be off the line. In any level of 11-man football, you MUST have seven on the line of scrimmage.

If you're sending three out wide, the one closest to the sideline should be on the line, while the other two flankers will be off the line. Then you could have one more back in the backfield (or split to the other side) and the quarterback to have four off the line and seven on the line.

You COULD have all three off the line, with a tight end on each side and no back in the backfield, but that would be a bit odd.
