As they break the huddle, look at the numbers of the players coming toward your side. As they start to line up you may well already have an idea (by seeing either the Tight End or the Tackle) whether your wideout is likely to be off the line or on the line.
I try to teach my guys to stick their arm out (to signal off the line) when the offense break the huddle and put it down again and verbalise to the wideout "You're on the line" as soon as they are happy he is close enough to be deemed on the line. I find this works pretty well at the lower levels in cutting out preventable fouls.
Putting your arm out every play (and then dropping again as necessary) seems to help the newer guys remember to signal the man off the line.
Dumbref's story about the center moving the ball? Be aware, I've had the same thing happen to me too.
