Both Doug Baldwin and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have played this role perfectly. Though both have lined up in different receiving roles, the Y-receiver is their bread and butter.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Baldwin's Y-receiver role combines tight end responsibilities with short-intermediate route running.

Y-receiver (slot receiver) who takes on tight end role; lines up next to offensive tackle and assists in run blocking on run plays; runs short-to-intermediate routes like drags, slants, seams, and option routes to attack linebackers and safeties; bread-and-butter role despite lining up in different receiving positions at times.
