It all depends on displacement. In your scenario, the defensive players cannot be called for a foul (as long as they don't hold, push, etc). The offensive player should be called for a PC foul if he displaces one of the defenders.
If neither of these happen, and the offensive player creates some incidental contact but doesn't displace a defender, then there is no foul.
