The 2026 Pro Motocross Championship Series swings east for the first time, rolling into High Point Raceway in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania, this Saturday. With 38 riders on the grid, the absence of Lucas Coenen—who’s back in Europe after a runner-up finish at Thunder Valley—leaves the door wide open for the rest of the field. Here’s your no-BS guide to locking in the right fantasy picks for the RMFantasyMX league.

Jett Lawrence is the lock for the win. The Honda rider has rattled off four consecutive moto victories and is riding a three-race winning streak at High Point Raceway. His momentum is untouchable right now. Haiden Deegan is poised to take second overall, but only if he avoids another penalty. Last week’s seven-position penalty for track cutting in Moto 1 didn’t slow him down—he still clawed his way to a third-place finish in Moto 2. Hunter Lawrence is a safe podium bet. While he won’t challenge Jett for the top spot, he’s a lock for second if Deegan stumbles at the start. If Deegan is up front, expect Hunter to shadow him home.

Garrett Marchbanks is on the rise. His 3-6 scorecard at Thunder Valley National landed him fourth overall, and he’s now rattled off four straight top-six moto finishes. He’s a solid P4 pick this week, with Deegan and Coenen out of the picture. RJ Hampshire and Jorge Prado are locked in a tight battle for fifth. Hampshire’s consistency—six finishes of 5-7 or better—has him just 12 points behind Deegan in the standings. Marchbanks topped Hampshire in both Thunder Valley motos, so Hampshire slides to the backseat for now. Prado’s inconsistency (a 2-2-36-13-7-5 record) makes him a gamble: podium material if he shows up, or a non-factor if he doesn’t.

For the P12 Wild Card slot, Mikkel Haarup is the steady choice. His season-long 10-14-7-12-12-11 run makes him a reliable lock. Jordon Smith’s recent 14-13-12 streak is worth a look if you’re chasing a sneaky pick. Cornelius Tøndel (16-15-14-13) and Valentin Guillod (14-11-17-14) could also crash the party if they find a gear. Play it safe with Haarup, but if you’re feeling lucky, Smith is the dart to throw.

Fantasy lineup to lock in: Jett Lawrence (Honda), Haiden Deegan (Yamaha), Hunter Lawrence (Honda), Garrett Marchbanks (Kawasaki), RJ Hampshire (Husqvarna), Wild Card: Mikkel Haarup (Triumph).
