Rules Question/Ineligible Wide Receivers

Noticed this on a few offensive plays rewatching Saturday's game. From my understanding of the rules, only the outermost receiver on the line of scrimmage is an eligible receiver. I know there's typically some leeway on who is on the line, but in the three images the field side receivers must both be considered on the line of scrimmage or it would be an illegal formation with 5 in the backfield.

Anyways, the inner man was never thrown to but it seems like an odd formation if my understanding of the rules is correct.

Edit: If this is correct, it should have been a penalty for having the inside receiver more than 3 yards downfield.

Could the play have been a bubble screen or run- sweep?

One was a run but the first two were downfield passes. Around 4:20 left in the 3rd I believe and 9:40 in the second.
