Of course...unless you see the type or degree or timing of the contact as being gratuitous or unnecessarily rough, in which case it would be UR. But "obviously not" had better be from the POV of the tackler; there could be cases in which you had a better view and it was obvious to you but not to the defender.

Also as a side question... At what point, if any, do you call a penalty on a defender who hits a "soon to be receiver" behind the LOS? Obviously because it is behind the LOS it can't be DPI, but can it be other things (like holding, illegal contact, etc)?

From just your present description it could just as well be a nothing.
