"Legal" receivers are elligable to catch a pass. Players who start a play on the end of the line or in the backfield are elligable. Linemen can't cross the line of scrimmage before a foreward pass crosses the line or they are considered to be downfield illegally unless the pass is caught behind the line of scrimmage.

When you have a wide split out off end and a wide receiver slot than another end on the same side next to the tackle Is the end next to the tackle an elegible receiver?
As far as the NFL is concerned, if both wide receivers are on the same side of the field and on the line of scrimmage, the formation is illegal. There must be 7 players on the line of scrimmage and 3 players on each side of the center. It sounds like your question is describing a situation where there are 4 players on the line of scrimmage on one side of the center and 2 players on the line of scrimmage on the other side of the center. If this is the case, the formation would be deemed illegal and result in a five yard penalty being called against the offense. It is illegal to have a receiver 'covered' by another receiver on the line of scrimmage.
