Yes, x is boundary wideout, y is field wideout, z is slot. This is traditional nomenclature.
Thanks for the info, guysNot exactly...
In most, but not all, offenses:
The X is typically on the line of scrimmage and lined up on the weak side of the formation.
The Z is lined up off the line of scrimmage and is typically on the strong side; or the same side as the Y. The Z can go in motion, the X (if he is on the line of scrimmage) can not.
The Y is the slot receiver(s) or the TE
